On Thursday, a Delhi court extended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody in connection with money laundering and corruption cases linked to the alleged excise scam
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kejriwal’s detention in a money laundering case, investigated by the Enforcement Directorate, until July 31. His custody in a corruption case filed by the CBI was extended until August 8.
The court also prolonged the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha, and other accused individuals in the money laundering case until July 31. The accused appeared before the court via video conference.
Although the Supreme Court had previously granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the ED case, he remains in Tihar Jail due to not furnishing the required bail bond. He continues to be in judicial custody in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case.
