Following his arrest, he was produced before the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi. The arrest comes after he was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21. The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear his bail plea related to his earlier arrest by the ED today. However, after his recent arrest by the CBI, Kejriwal is expected to file a fresh plea in the apex court. Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal, informed the bench that they would prefer to file a detailed appeal as the high court had passed a comprehensive order on June 25.
Sources have revealed that on Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation questioned Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar Jail in the excise policy case and recorded his statement. The CBI has also taken permission to present Kejriwal in the trial court on Tuesday. Aam Aadmi Party leaders have reacted strongly to this news. According to the party, there is a conspiracy to trap Arvind Kejriwal once again. They say that just as he was about to be released, the CBI started this case under the pretext of investigation to keep him in custody further.
