New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party sources have said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will knock the doors of Supreme Court against a high court order dismissing the plea against his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam.
On Tuesday, Delhi High Court dismissed Kejriwal’s plea. Kejriwal who is in judicial custody challenged his arrest and questioned his subsequent remand in ED custody in the case.
“The court is of the view that the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal was not in contravention of legal provisions. The remand can’t be held to be illegal,” said Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma while delivering the verdict.
The matter is related to alleged corruption and money laundering in formulating and executing the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 which was later scrapped.
Delhi CM Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21, hours after the high court refused to grant him protection by the federal anti-money laundering agency.
He was sent to judicial custody in the case on April 1 after he was produced in the trial court on the expiry of ED custody.
