Arvind Kejriwal Moves Supreme Court: Shocking 7-Day Extension Request!

Arvind Kejriwal asks Supreme Court for 7 more days of temporary bail

Arvind Kejriwal requests 7-day interim bail extension for medical tests. Atishi mentioned Kejriwal lost 7 kg after his arrest and hasn't regained it.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has petitioned the Supreme Court for an extra seven days of interim bail in a money laundering case related to the excise policy scam. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stated this extension is needed for PET-CT scans and other medical tests.

The Supreme Court has granted the AAP leader interim bail until June 1, the final day of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections, and instructed him to surrender and return to jail on June 2.

Kejriwal lost 7 kg after his arrest, yet to regain it: Atishi

Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi stated that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has submitted a petition to the Supreme Court seeking an extension of his seven-day interim bail. Kejriwal lost seven kilograms of weight shortly after his arrest and has yet to regain it, she said, according to PTI.

His ketone levels, she added, are significantly high according to test results, prompting doctors to recommend further examinations. Therefore, the petition has been filed.

The AAP national convenor was arrested on March 21 in connection with the Delhi excise policy case after extensive questioning by an ED team at his residence. This was a major blow to the ruling party in the capital, especially since prominent leaders like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain were already in jail on corruption charges, and Sanjay Singh had just been released on bail.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has acknowledged the excise policy case as "completely fake" and said that all those arrested in the matter should be released.

During a virtual press conference, Kejriwal said the BJP accused him, Sanjay Singh, and Manish Sisodia of being involved in a scam related to the Delhi Excise Policy for 2021-22. He stated that despite over 500 raids conducted nationwide and numerous arrests made, no evidence of wrongdoing has been found.

"The prime minister has said that no evidence was found because Kejriwal is 'an experienced thief'," he claimed.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh jabbed at Delhi CM Kejriwal on Sunday, saying that while he's familiar with the concept of "work from home," it's the first time he's hearing about "work from jail."

"We know about work from office, I have heard about work from home, but this is the first time I am hearing about work from jail," Singh said while accusing the Delhi CM of being part of a corruption scam.
