In a related case, the court also extended the custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and BRS leader K Kavitha until May 7. This case, linked to the now-defunct Delhi excise policy, has seen Kejriwal implicated as a key conspirator by the Enforcement Directorate. However, this has sparked controversy due to concerns over medical issues and food restrictions during custody.
The court has also postponed its decision on K Kavitha’s bail plea until May 6, following an eight-day custody period that ended on April 23. This investigation centres around alleged payments made by the AAP.
In a separate development, an FIR has been filed against K Sudhakar, a BJP candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, for allegedly attempting to bribe voters in Karnataka.
Lastly, the custody of Kejriwal, Kavitha, and Chanpreet Singh has been extended until May 7 in a separate ruling. Kejriwal, who is reportedly receiving insulin, has been denied access to a private doctor. They are due to appear in court for further proceedings on May 7.
