Delhi court extends Kejriwal judicial custody till May 20 in 'excise policy case'

A Delhi court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal till May 20 in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped excise policy. Kejriwal was produced before the court via video conferencing on the expiry of his custody granted earlier.

Special Judge for CBI and ED Kaveri Baweja also extended the judicial



custody of co-accused Chanpreet Singh till May 20.

The order coincided with the hearing in the Supreme Court on Arvind Kejriwal's challenge to his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the liquor policy case. The two-judge bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta had expressed that it might consider the question of interim bail for Kejriwal.
