Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been sent to jail for 14 days under judicial custody in the Delhi liquor policy case being probed by the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI). Kejriwal was produced in the court by the CBI after the end of his three-day custodial interrogation saying his incarceration was required “in the interest of the investigation and justice”.

Allowing the plea, Special Judge Sunena Sharma said that Kejriwal be produced in the court on July 12. On March 21, he was arrested by the ED in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped policy. He was granted bail by a trial court that was stayed by the Delhi High Court. In its remand application, the CBI alleged Kejriwal did not cooperate and gave evasive replies.
