Delhi excise policy case: Court extends judicial custody of Kejriwal till August 8

The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has extended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody until August 8 in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. He was produced before the court via video conferencing from Tihar jail.

Although the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the ED case, he remains in Tihar jail due to his arrest by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in the formation and implementation of the excise policy.

The court also extended the judicial custody of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, BRS leader K Kavitha, and other accused in a separate money laundering case linked to the same excise policy.

The court also directed Tihar jail authorities to produce Delhi CM Kejriwal via video conference on July 31.
