Kejriwal arrested: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was presented in the court after his arrest on Thursday in the Delhi liquor policy scam case, in his first reaction said that his life is dedicated to the nation even if he's behind the bars, alive or dead.
The Enforcement Directorate in its argument in the court accused Kejriwal as the 'kingpin' of the Delhi liquor policy adding that profits from the excise policy were used for Punjab and Goa Assembly elections.
The Enforcement Directorate earlier today produced Arvind Kejriwal before the Rouse Avenue court and sought his 10-day custody in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
"We have given an application for 10 days' remand," the ED told the court after the AAP chief was produced before Special Judge Kaveri Baweja around 2 pm amid tight security on and around the court premises.
ASG S V Raju is appearing for the agency, while Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi is representing Kejriwal.
Kejriwal was produced in the trial court shortly after he withdrew from the Supreme Court his plea against arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Kejriwal's counsel said he would contest the remand proceedings before the trial court and then come back to the apex court with another petition.
