A Delhi court today extended the judicial custody of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor,  Arvind Kejriwal till 25th of this month in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam. Chief Minister Kejriwal was produced before the Rouse Avenue Court through video conferencing from Tihar Jail in the National Capital upon the expiry of previously granted judicial custody.

        Taking cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court, last week had issued a production warrant for Chief Minister Kejriwal on 11th of September.

    Earlier, the CBI had filed its supplementary charge sheet before the court against the Delhi Chief Minister and other accused persons in the corruption case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.

        The Supreme Court is yet to pronounce its verdict on Chief Minister Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by CBI and seeking bail in the corruption case.

        Meanwhile, in the same case, AAP leader Durgesh Pathak was granted bail today by the Delhi Court.
