GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 24th April. A Delhi court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and BRS leader K Kavitha till May 7 in connection with the money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court issued the orders upon the expiration of the previously granted judicial custody.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested CM Kejriwal on March 21 after interrogating him for over two hours at his official residence in Delhi. The ED has labeled CM Kejriwal as the “kingpin and the key conspirator” of the alleged excise policy scam, alleging collusion with other ministers of the Delhi government, AAP leaders, and other individuals.
In related developments, the Delhi High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Monday, seeking extraordinary interim bail for the incarcerated Delhi Chief Minister in all criminal cases registered against him by central agencies until the completion of his tenure or the conclusion of trials, whichever occurs earlier.
The extension of judicial custody underscores the gravity of the allegations against CM Kejriwal and K Kavitha, highlighting the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the high-profile money laundering case.
As the investigation progresses, stakeholders closely monitor developments, awaiting further clarity on the implications for the political landscape and governance in Delhi.
