NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court extended the judicial custody of CM Arvind Kejriwal till August 8 in Excise policy case filed by CBI
He was produced through video conferencing from Tihar Jail.
The CBI has charged the Delhi chief minister as a key conspirator in the excise policy case irregularities.
The probe agency claimed that Nair demanded undue benefits for including provisions favorable to AAP in the excise policy since March 2021.
The CBI alleged that Rs 44.45 crore was transferred via ‘hawala channels’ to Goa from June 2021 to January 2022, used in AAP’s assembly poll campaign.
This was part of the Rs 100 crore kickbacks AAP received, as stated in a previous chargesheet.
