Excise case: Kejriwal’s judicial custody extended till August 27

New Delhi: A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal till August 27 in a corruption case registered by the CBI. Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kejriwal’s custody after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was produced before the court through video conferencing today on expiry of his earlier judicial custody in connection with the alleged excise scam.

The court is likely to consider on August 27 the supplementary charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Kejriwal.
