Delhi court extends judicial custody of Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, K Kavitha in excise ‘scam’

New Delhi, July 25

A Delhi court on Thursday extended the judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in money-laundering and corruption cases related to the alleged excise scam.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kejriwal’s custody in a money-laundering case, being probed by the Enforcement Directorate, till July 31, while his judicial custody in a corruption case, lodged by the CBI, was extended till August 8.

The judge also extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha and other accused till July 31 in the money-laundering case.

The accused were produced before the court through video-conference.

The Supreme Court had earlier granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the ED case. However, he continues to be lodged in Tihar jail here as he has not furnished the bail bond in the case.

He is in judicial custody in the Central Bureau of Investigation case.
