Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal finds himself in a precarious legal bind as a Delhi court extends his judicial custody till July 12 amidst allegations of corruption stemming from a now defunct excise policy. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) pushed for this extension, citing the need for further investigation and justice.
Key Points:
- Judicial Remand: Ordered by Judge Sunena Sharma, the extension follows a tumultuous legal battle.
- Legal Maneuvers: Kejriwal’s defense challenges the CBI’s case timeline and evidence handling.
- Initial Arrest: Previously detained by the Enforcement Directorate on money laundering charges related to the same policy.
Advocate Vikram Chaudhary, representing Kejriwal, contended the ongoing legal complexities and the Supreme Court’s prior interventions. The case highlights the intersection of politics and judiciary, with implications for Kejriwal’s political future.
