Arvind Kejriwal sent to 3-day CBI custody

Delhi's Rouse Avenue court on Wednesday evening sent Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal to 3-day CBI remand.

Earlier in the day, CBI formally arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and sought his five-day custody in a corruption case related to the alleged excise scam.

In his submission before the court, Kejriwal claimed innocence in the case and said his former deputy Manish Sisodia as well as the Aam Aadmi Party are innocent.

The central agency formally arrested the AAP leader after getting permission from the Special Judge Amitabh Rawat.

The CBI moved the application seeking Kejriwal's arrest after he was produced before the court from the Tihar Central Jail. The AAP leader is lodged in prison in an excise scam money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Department.
