A Rouse Avenue court in Delhi extended Chief Minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal`s judicial custody until September 3 in connection with the excise policy case. The court also scheduled further hearings on whether to take cognisance of the supplementary charge sheet filed against Kejriwal and five others for the same date.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged that funds received from the South Group were used for the Aam Aadmi Party`s (AAP) election campaign in Goa. It is further alleged that Kejriwal promised Rs 90 lakh to each candidate contesting in Goa`s 40 constituencies.
