A Delhi court on Wednesday sent Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to the CBI’s custody for three days after the central agency arrested him in a corruption case related to the alleged excise scam.
Special Judge Amitabh Rawat passed the order on an application moved by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which formally arrested Kejriwal after obtaining permission from the court. “The CBI’s application is allowed for three days. The accused be produced before 7 pm,” the judge said.
