A Delhi Court on Monday remanded Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till 15 April.
Special CBI judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court passed the order.
Kejriwal was produced before the court at the end of his remand period in the Delhi Excise policy money laundering case.
While entering the court complex the Delhi CM criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that he was not doing the right thing.
Speaking to reporters, while being produced in court, Kejriwal said, “Pradhan Mantri jo kar rahe hain woh desh ke liye achha nahi hai.”
The ED brought the Chief Minister to the court amid high security.
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju was appearing for the ED.
The ED moved an application in the court seeking direction to send Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody.
The ED Counsel said, “We are asking for judicial custody, subject to the right of asking further custody as per SC judgment in the Senthil Balaji case.”
Meanwhile, Kejriwal moved an application seeking permission to carry some prescribed medicine during Judicial custody in Tihar.
Earlier in the day, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal reached the Rouse Avenue court. Delhi Ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj and Atishi were also present at the court.
Earlier on Sunday, Kejriwal’s wife while addressing the INDIA bloc rally had made an emotional pitch to party supporters and people.
Reading a message from Kejriwal, Sunita said, “Your very own Kejriwal has sent a message for you from custody. However, before reading out this message, I would like to ask you something. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi put my husband in custody. Do you all believe that he did the right thing? Do you believe that Kejriwal-ji is a true patriot and honest person? These BJP people are saying that since Kejriwal is in custody, he should resign. Do you all believe he should resign?”
