The Delhi High Court on Wednesday heard Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea related to the Excise policy case. During the hearing, the AAP Supremo’s counsel argued that he “is a Chief Minitster and not a terrorist” who cannot be granted bail.
The previous hearing in the matter occurred on July 2, during which Justice Neena Bansal Krishna directed the Cental Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to respond within seven days.
Here are top updates from the bail hearing:
- “The CBI FIR was filed in Auguest 2022 and Kejriwal wasn’t named in that. In April 2023, he was summoned under Sec 160 CrPC as a witness,” Singhvi, Delhi CM’s lawyer said in court.
- ” The Supreme Court doesn’t think Kejriwal can tamper with evidence, or he’ll fly to England and the SC tests my bona-fide,” Kejriwal’s team argued.
Kejriwal filed his plea in the High Court on July 1, challenging the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court’s June 26 decision that sent him to CBI custody for three days. He remains in judicial custody until July 25.
