Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has moved the Delhi High Court challenging his arrest in the excise policy case on Monday. Besides, AAP supremo Kejriwal has also challenged the trial court’s J𝓡une 26 order following which he was remanded to three-day CBI custody.
Kejriwal was sent to three day CBI custody after he was questioned by the probe agency inside Tihar Jai🍬l in the case on June 25.
On June 29 the trial court had sent Kejriwal to judicial custody until July 12 as his three-day CBI custody ended in the case.
On June 26, ๊CBI placed Kejriwal under “formal” arrest in the corruption case and produced him before the Rouse Avenue court.
The probe agency sought his custody for five days to confront him with the evidence in the presen𒁏t case of consp🀅iracy.
The CBI had sta♏ted before the court that Kejriwal “did not cooperate” during the custodial interrogati꧙on.
The probe agency had also stated before the court 🐷that Delhi chief minister is a prominent politician and a “very influential person” and he could influence the witnesses or tamper with the evidence in the case.
The agency sought 14 days in jail for Kejriwal,𝔉 saying it was required “in the interest of the investigation and justice”.
Kejriwal will be produced in ♚the court on July 12.
