The Rouse Avenue Court on Monday sent the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody until April 15 in connection with an alleged money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 and has remained in their custody since. His custody was extended by a Delhi court until April 1 on March 28. Kejriwal has filed a case against his arrest in the Delhi High Court, citing a violation of his fundamental rights. The court has asked the ED to respond by April 2.
The ED alleges that profits from the excise policy were used to fund AAP’s election campaigns. Kejriwal is the third AAP leader to be arrested in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam after missing nine ED summons. He has called his arrest a ‘political conspiracy’, prompting significant protests from his party.
