Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal remains in judicial custody in connection with the alleged Delhi excise scam. His bail plea, along with a challenge to his arrest, will be heard by the Supreme Court on September 5. The case involves multiple accused, including former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and several others, who have been released on bail. The investigation alleges bribery and money laundering linked to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy.
The Supreme Court will hear the bail pleas of Manish Sisodia, AAP leader and former Delhi deputy chief minister, on Monday in connection with corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Sisodia has been in jail for 16 months and argues that the trial has not progressed since last October. The court will consider responses from the CBI and ED after previously refusing bail pending the filing of charge sheets and prosecution complaints.
The Delhi High Court is set to rule on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) appeal against the bail granted to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case related to the scrapped Delhi excise policy. The ED argues that the trial court’s decision was flawed and based on irrelevant facts, while Kejriwal was released on bail after his arrest in March.
