Delhi liquor policy case; Kejriwal to Tihar jail, judicial custody till April 15

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was presented in the Rouse Avenue court regarding the Delhi liquor policy case, faces setback. Kejriwal has been remanded to judicial custody for 15 days. He will be shifted to Tihar jail. Kejriwal reacted, stating, ‘What Modi is doing now is not good for the country.’

Enforcement Directorate (ED) requested the court to extend Kejriwal's custody by seven more days. Previously, on March 28, the court had entertained the demand to detain Kejriwal and extended his custody for five days up to the present date.

During the court proceedings, Arvind Kejriwal asserted that the ED's case was aimed at ensnaring him and undermining the Aam Aadmi Party. However, ED informed the court that Kejriwal was not cooperating with their investigation. On March 27, the Delhi High Court dismissed Kejriwal's plea for interim bail.
