Arvind Kejriwal Moves Supreme Court For Extension Of Bail for Medical Tests

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 in relation to the Delhi excise policy case after being questioned extensively by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at his home. This arrest was a major blow to the AAP, especially since other key leaders like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain are also in jail on corruption charges, and Sanjay Singh was recently released on bail.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asked the Supreme Court for an extra seven days of interim bail in a money laundering case connected to the excise policy scam. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) says this extension is needed for Kejriwal to get PET-CT scans and other medical tests.

The Supreme Court has already granted Kejriwal interim bail until June 1, the last day of the Lok Sabha elections. He is required to surrender and return to jail on June 2.

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 in relation to the Delhi excise policy case after being questioned extensively by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at his home. This arrest was a major blow to the AAP, especially since other key leaders like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain are also in jail on corruption charges, and Sanjay Singh was recently released on bail.

On Friday, Kejriwal claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi admitted the excise policy case is “completely fake” and called for the release of everyone arrested in the matter. During a virtual press conference, Kejriwal said the BJP accused him, along with Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia, of being involved in a scam related to the Delhi Excise Policy for 2021-22. Despite over 500 raids across the country and numerous arrests, no evidence of wrongdoing has been found, he said.
