New Delhi: On Thursday, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court extended the custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with the Enforcement Directorate by four days. However, data from the other 4 digital devices seized during a search on March 21 belonging to the chief minister are yet to be extracted.
The AAP national convenor will now be produced in court at 11:30 am on April 1. The ED sought a seven-day extension of the custody of Kejriwal, saying it wanted to confront him with his party leaders summoned from Goa.
ASG Raju, appearing for the ED, said the probe agency had material to prove that Kejriwal demanded Rs 100 crore kickbacks from ‘South Group’. The ED has alleged that Rs 100 crore received as a bribe was used by the AAP in the Goa elections. Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 and was sent to remand till March 28 by the court.
Today, as he entered the court premises, Kejriwal said: “This is a political conspiracy. The people will give an answer.” The court order came hours after Kejriwal spoke in his defence in court and said the probe agency was trying to “crush” the AAP.
