Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has recently made a request to the Supreme Court for an extension of his interim bail. His plea for an extension of seven days is based on health concerns in relation to a money laundering case connected to the excise policy scam.
Earlier, the top court had granted him interim bail for a period of 21 days, allowing him to focus on campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls. However, the court had also imposed certain restrictions, prohibiting him from visiting his office or the Delhi secretariat and signing official files without the necessary approval from the lieutenant governor.
In this new plea, the chief minister has cited health reasons for the extension of his interim bail, stating that he has lost seven kilograms in weight. He has also mentioned that he needs to undergo some medical tests, and therefore, is requesting an extension of his bail, which is set to expire on June 1.
The case in question revolves around allegations of corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government's excise policy for the year 2021-22, which has since been scrapped.
