Delhi excise policy case: Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody extended till Aug 8

New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody has been extended by the Rouse Avenue court till August 8 in connection with a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case related to the now scrapped excise policy, media reports said.

Kejriwal was produced before the court in a video conference from Delhi's Tihar Jail where he is lodged.

In a partial relief, Kejriwal was granted an interim bail by the Supreme Court in the liquor policy case probed by the Enforcement Directorate on July 12.

The Aam Aadmi Party supremo was also arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) related to the case. He is still under arrest by the CBI.

On March 21, 2024, Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate over money laundering allegations while framing the Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped after the Lieutenant Governor raised red flags.

The ED has alleged the money Kejriwal got from the liquor sellers was used to fund the party's campaign in Goa since he is the convenor of the AAP.

Kejriwal and the AAP have throughout maintained the Centre has been misusing its agencies to harass the Opposition with false cases.

Kejriwal was given an interim bail in May for a brief period until June 2, 2024 for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.

He went back to the jail on June 2, 2024 the day next to the last phase poll date.
