Liquor Policy Scam: Court Sends Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal To Jail As ED Claims He’s ‘Non-cooperative’

A Delhi court on Monday sent Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till April 15 after he was produced before Special Judge on expiry of his previously extended Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody in connection with the money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam. After a brief hearing, the judge sent CM Kejriwal to judicial custody till April 15. The accused AAP Supremo has also moved an application to be provided with special diet, medicines, books and religious locket which he is wearing, while being in the custody. He has moved an application to have three books -- Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and How Prime Ministers Decide. On Monday, the CM was produced amid heavy security while counsel for both ED and CM Kejriwal made submissions virtually. Seeking his judicial custody, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju appearing for the probe agency said that ED seeks his judicial custody and no more ED remand. Alleging the same what it had alleged last time, the ED said: "Kejriwal is non-cooperative and is giving evasive replies." The ASG made another similar submission as last time saying that CM Kejriwal isn't giving password to his phone. The ED had arrested Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 after questioning him for over two hours at his official residence in Delhi. The ED has termed CM Kejriwal the "kingpin and the key conspirator" of the alleged excise scam in collusion with other ministers of the Delhi government, AAP leaders, and other persons.
