A Delhi court today sent Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till July 12 in a corruption case linked to the alleged liquor policy case, after his three-day custody with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) ended today.

CM Kejriwal, on June 26, was sent to CBI custody for three days by Rouse Avenue Court on the agency’s application seeking custody of the Aam Aadmi Party Chief  for interrogation.

Earlier that day, CM Kejriwal was formally arrested by the CBI when he was produced before vacation judge Amitabh Rawat.

In a related development, the AAP supremo had withdrawn his plea filed before the Supreme Court challenging the interim stay ordered by the Delhi High Court on his release on bail in the money laundering case linked to the alleged liquor policy scam case.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, submitted before a vacation bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti that a fresh plea would be moved before the apex court in view of the latest decision of the Delhi High Court staying the trial court order granting bail to CM Kejriwal in the money laundering case.
