CBI seeks Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody

The CBI was earlier granted a three-day remand after claiming that Kejriwal's custody was necessary to confront him with evidence and documents in the case.

A Delhi court on Saturday reserved its order on the CBI's plea seeking judicial custody for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as his three-day custodial interrogation came to an end.

Kejriwal, who was arrested by the central agency in connection with the liquor policy case on Wednesday, was produced before the Rouse Avenue court.

The CBI was earlier granted a three-day remand after claiming that Kejriwal's custody was necessary to confront him with evidence and documents in the case.

It also alleged that Kejriwal had implicated former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, attributing the idea of privatisation to him.

The AAP chief’s lawyer, Vikram Chaudhary, opposed the CBI's plea for custody, describing it as an abuse of power and requesting access to documents.
