The Delhi court on Thursday has extended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody in ongoing money laundering and corruption investigations related to the alleged excise scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kejriwal’s custody in the money laundering case, investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), until July 31. Additionally, his judicial custody in the corruption case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was extended until August 8.
The judge 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 until July 31 in the money laundering case. 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 as he has not yet furnished the bail bond. He continues to be in judicial custody for the CBI case.
