Court Reserves Order on CBI’s Plea for 14-Day Judicial Custody of CM Kejriwal
New Delhi: A court here on Saturday reserved its order on the CBI’s plea seeking 14-day judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a corruption case related to the excise policy.
Kejriwal was presented in court by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after the conclusion of his three-day custodial interrogation.
Special Judge Sunena Sharma reserved her decision on the plea seeking jail for the AAP chief. The Delhi chief minister was arrested by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in his government’s excise policy.
Previously, on March 21, Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering case linked to the now-scrapped policy. Although he was granted bail by a trial court, the Delhi High Court stayed the order.
