Arvind Kejriwal sent to ED custody till March 28

Delhi Rouse Avenue Court sent Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to a 6-day ED custody till March 28 in the excise policy case.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was produced before the Rouse Avenue court on Friday following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday night. While the hearing on his remand application is still underway, the AAP national convenor was taken outside the court earlier in the day because of health reasons.

After two hours of questioning at his residence, the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night arrested Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party president Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the excise policy case.

The arrest came hours after the Delhi High Court denied any interim protection from arrest to the AAP chief in connection with the summonses issued to him by the federal agency in the liquor policy scam case.
