On Saturday, a court in New Delhi held a hearing to decide whether Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should be placed in judicial custody for 14 days. The request was made by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in relation to a corruption case linked to the excise policy.
Kejriwal was brought to court by the CBI after the completion of his three-day custodial interrogation. Special Judge Sunena Sharma presided over the hearing and reserved her decision on the matter. The plea was made to put the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) behind bars.
The CBI had arrested the Delhi chief minister for alleged irregularities in his government's excise policy. This was not the only legal trouble facing Kejriwal, as he was also arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in a money-laundering case connected to the now-defunct policy. He had been granted bail by a trial court, but the decision was later stayed by the Delhi High Court.
It remains to be seen what the court's ruling will be on the CBI's request for judicial custody. Kejriwal's legal battles continue as he faces multiple allegations of corruption and misconduct related to his government's policies.
