A Delhi court has extended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody until September 25 in connection with the alleged excise policy scam, where the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) claims he was involved in a criminal conspiracy related to the policy's implementation. The CBI's chargesheet alleges that Kejriwal demanded financial support for his party while the policy was being formulated in March 2021. In a separate development, AAP leader Durgesh Pathak has been granted bail in the same case, with the court setting his bail bond at ₹1 lakh. The CBI has committed to providing both soft and hard copies of the chargesheet to the accused, while the Supreme Court is yet to issue a ruling on Kejriwal's bail plea. Kejriwal's legal team argues that he poses no flight risk and was not mentioned in the initial CBI FIR, emphasizing that he will cooperate with the investigation. The case has attracted significant attention as it involves allegations of money laundering connected to the Delhi government's excise policy.
