The Rouse Avenue Court on Monday extended the judicial custody of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal till April 23 in the alleged money laundering case connected to the now scrapped liquor policy.

Kejriwal appeared before the court through virtual conference. The court noted that the judicial custody of co-accused K Kavitha is also extended till April 23.

On March 22, the trial court remanded him to six days of ED custody, which was extended by further four days. He was remanded to judicial custody on April 01.

On April 10, the Delhi High Court dismissed Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest, observing that ED was able to place enough material, statements of approvers and AAP's own candidate stating that Kejriwal was given money for Goa elections.
