NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court extended the judicial custody of CM Arvind Kejriwal till August 8 in Excise policy case filed by CBI.
He was produced through video conferencing from Tihar Jail.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Kejriwal on July 12 in the money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning the now-scrapped excise policy.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta had noted that certain legal questions from Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by the central agency need to be referred to a larger bench.
However, the chief minister remained in Tihar jail as he was separately arrested by the CBI in a corruption case related to the alleged scam.
