A Delhi court extended the judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday in connection with money laundering and corruption cases related to the alleged excise scam.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja ruled to extend Kejriwal's custody in the money laundering case, being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), until July 31. Additionally, his judicial custody in a corruption case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was extended until August 8.

The court also extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha, and other accused individuals until July 31 in the money laundering case. The accused appeared before the court via video conference.

Previously, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the ED case, but he remains in Tihar Jail as he has not furnished the required bail bond. Kejriwal is also in judicial custody in the CBI case.
