The Rouse Avenue court on Wednesday extended the judicial custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and another accused Vinod Chauhan till July 3 in a money laundering case related to the Delhi Excise policy.

The court asked why the extension of judicial custody is required. Counsel for ED submitted that Vinod Chauhan received Rs 25 crore from the Personal Assistant of K Kavitha through Abhishek Boinpally for the Goa election.

During the hearing, the Investigation officer informed the court that Rs 25 crore is part of the Rs 100 crore money trail. Till now Rs 45 crore money trail has been traced.
