Arvind Kejriwal sent to judicial custody till April 15, lodged in Tihar jail

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was on Monday sent to 14-day judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case filed relating to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy-2021-22. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21.

Mr. Kejriwal was sent to Tihar jail after Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court passed the orders for his judicial custody till April 15.

Later Mr. Kejriwal’s counsel moved an application seeking to allow him to read three books in jail — the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana and “How Prime Ministers Decide”. He also sought permission for special diet and to have a religious locket apart from getting medically prescribed food.
