Delhi HC to pronounce verdict on Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest tomorrow

The Delhi High Court will pronounce a verdict on Tuesday (April 9) on a plea moved by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest and Enforcement Directorate (ED) remand in connection with the liquor scam. On April 3, a single-judge bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma reserved the verdict on the CM’s plea challenging his arrest by the ED in the excise policy case. 

Significantly, the now-jailed Chief Minister was arrested on the



night of March 21 and is currently in Tihar jail after Delhi court sent him to judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged liquor scam. Earlier on April 1, the Rouse Avenue Court sent Kejriwal to judicial custody till April 15. 

The ED alleged that Kejriwal is answering every question by saying, 'I don't know'. The probe agency had then sought 15-day judicial custody of Kejriwal, saying he was "totally uncooperative.".
