New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam, will be produced before the city's Rouse Avenue court on Monday as his custody ends. He was remanded to ED custody until April 1 after being arrested in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to the excise policy.

Meanwhile, security has been outside Delhi's Rouse Avenue court, with police barricades put up as CM Arvind Kejriwal will be produced before the court.

The ED had sought a seven-day extension of Kejriwal's custody citing the need to further interrogate the Delhi CM. But on March 28, the court extended Kejriwal's ED custody until April 1.

Arvind Kejriwal has been governing Delhi from jail with his wife Sunita Kejriwal passing his orders to the cabinet. Sunita also participated in the Opposition INDIA bloc's 'Loktantra Bachao' rally where she referred to Kejriwal as a 'freedom fighter'. Top opposition leaders present at the rally also pressed for the release of Kejriwal and former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, who was arrested by the ED in January.

AAP national convener Kejriwal, who was arrested on March 21 and subsequently remanded to the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) custody by a Delhi court, faces allegations of direct involvement in a conspiracy related to the formulation of the excise policy favoring specific individuals.

After his initial custody ended on March 28, Kejriwal's custody was extended for four more days till April 1 by a local court. He also moved the Delhi High Court stating that his fundamental rights were violated by the ED.

The case pertains to alleged irregularities and money laundering in framing and implementing the Delhi excise policy case 2022, which was later scrapped. In its arguments before the court, the ED alleged that the CM of Delhi is the key conspirator and kingpin in demanding kickbacks from businessmen. The agency further claimed that Kejriwal was directly involved in the formation of the Excise policy.
