Delhi Rouse Avenue court on Thursday reserved order on Enforcement Directorate’s plea seeking 7 days extension of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s custody remand.
In the court, ED moved a remand application stating that they require Delhi CM further custody for interrogation to confront him with some other people. “Statements of some AAP Goa candidates are being recorded,” ED told court.
ASG SV Raju who is representing the ED said that Kejriwal’s statements have been recorded, however, he gave evasive replies. “He is deliberately not cooperating with us,” ASG said, as reported by ANI.
Earlier, as the CM was being brought to the courtroom in Rouse Avenue court at the end of his ED custody, he said, “It is a political conspiracy and the people will give an answer to it.”
Prior to this, the Delhi High Court today also rejected a PIL seeking the removal of Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister. As per Bar and Bench, “It is for the Executive to decide… There is no rule to remove him.” Delhi High Court dismisses PIL to remove Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister.”
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita said that her husband, who is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged excise scam, will reveal the truth regarding the case in court on March 28.
“In the so-called liquor scam, 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 that he will reveal everything in court on March 28. He will reveal where the money of the liquor scam is. He will also provide proof…” she had said.
The probe agency had arrested Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with an alleged excise policy-linked money laundering case.
