The Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday extended the custodial remand of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by four more days in a money laundering case related to Excise Policy.
ED, while seeking further remand, submitted that data on one mobile phone (belonging to the arrestee’s wife) has been extracted and is being analyzed.
However, data from the other 4 digital devices seized during a search at Arvind Kejriwal’s premises on March 21, 2024 (belonging to the arrestee himself) is yet to be extracted as the arrestee has sought time to provide password/login credentials after consulting with his lawyers.
On Thursday, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court reserved its order on Enforcement Directorate’s plea seeking 7 days extension of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s custody remand.
The court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja will pass the order in some time. The investigation agency arrested Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with an alleged excise policy-linked money laundering case. On Thursday, the investigating agency, ED, moved a remand application stating that they require Delhi CM’s further custody for interrogation to confront him with some other people. ED told the court, ‘Statements of some AAP Goa candidates are being recorded’.
ASG SV Raju who is representing the ED said that Arvind Kejriwal’s statements have been recorded, but he gave elusive replies. ‘He is deliberately not cooperating with us’, said ASG.
