Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be produced before the Rouse Avenue Court as his 10-day custody with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) ended on Thursday. The ED arrested Kejriwal last week in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja, while remanding him in the ED custody, had directed that Kejriwal be produced before it on March 28. The ED can either seek an extension of the CM’s custody or seek court directions for sending him to judicial custody. There are also speculations that the CBI probing the same case may seek his custody.
This comes as the Delhi High Court will hear a PIL seeking removal of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal from the post of Delhi Chief Minister following his arrest in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal's appearance before the court is highly anticipated as his wife Sunita Kejriwal had said on Wednesday that the Chief Minister will do a 'big expose' on the "so-called Delhi liquor scam" in the court on Thursday.
“The ED has conducted more than 250 raids. They are searching for the money of this so-called scam. They have found nothing yet… Arvind Kejriwal has said he will reveal everything in the court on March 28. He will reveal where the money of the liquor scam is… He will also provide proof,” Sunita said in a video address on Wednesday.
Kejriwal did not get immediate relief from the Delhi High Court on Wednesday after the court had refused to interfere with his arrest.
