New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has been sent to judicial custody till April 15 by Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Monday, April 1. 

Arvind Kejriwal was produced before the Delhi court on Monday after his Enforcement Directorate custodial remand ended in the excise policy-linked money laundering case. Seeking the custody, the central probe agency said that Kejriwal was "totally uncooperative".

 

He was produced before Special Judge Kaveri Baweja in a jam-packed courtroom.

The federal probe agency had arrested Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with the case. The next day, Special Judge Baweja remanded him in the custody of the ED till March 28. Following this, the court allowed the ED's plea requesting extension of his custodial interrogation by four days till April 1.

Whatever PM is Doing…: Kejriwal 

Speaking to reporters before entering court, AAP leader and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "Whatever the prime minister is doing(referring to his arrest) is not good for the country".

AAP ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal were present in court.

In its remand application, the probe agency has accused the AAP leader of "being involved in the entire conspiracy of Delhi liquor scam, in drafting and implementation of the policy, for favouring and benefiting the quid pro receiving kickbacks and eventually using part of proceeds of crime generated out of the scheduled offence in the election campaign for Goa Assembly elections".
