A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) leader K Kavitha by 14 days till May 7 in the money laundering case connected to the liquor policy scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court ordered that both Kejriwal and Kavitha be produced before the Court on May 7 at 2 pm via video conferencing. The Court also extended Kavitha’s judicial custody in the CBI case related to the excise policy matter till May 7.
Along with the two political leaders, the court has also extended the custody of Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) alleged fund manager for Goa elections Chanpreet Singh till May 7 in connection with the money laundering case linked to the now scrapped Delhi excise policy.
All three accused were produced before the court through a virtual conference on Tuesday. AAP chief Kejriwal was arrested on the night of March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on allegations that he was the “key conspirator” in the money laundering case registered in the matter. On March 22, the Delhi CM was produced before Judge Baweja, who initially remanded the AAP leader to ED custody till March 28.
