Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has suffered a big shock. Rouse Avenue Court has sent him to judicial custody for 15 days. Now Kejriwal will remain in jail till 15 April.
The Chief Minister of Delhi will be kept in Tihar Jail. In light of this, Arvind Kejriwal has filed an application in the Rouse Avenue Court seeking permission to have special food, medicine, and books and wear a religious locket during judicial custody.
Apart from this, Kejriwal has also sought permission to keep Bhagavad Gita and Ramayana with him during judicial custody.
It is noteworthy that a hearing was held in the court today on the completion of Arvind Kejriwal's custody period by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
ED had arrested the Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor on the night of March 21 in a money laundering case related to liquor policy.
The next day, on 22 March, the court sent Kejriwal to ED custody till 28 March. Subsequently, on March 28, he was sent to ED custody till April 1.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleges that there has been corruption in formulating and implementing Delhi's liquor policy. ED has identified Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as the main conspirator in this case.
Former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh are currently in jail in the liquor policy case. According to the ED, the money received from Delhi's liquor policy has been used by the Aam Aadmi Party for Goa Assembly elections and other activities.
Kejriwal denied all these allegations and said that he has been arrested to stop him from campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections.
