Today, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal filed a petition with the Delhi High Court contesting his arrest and challenging the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) remand in connection with a corruption case involving an alleged liquor policy scam.

Currently, Kejriwal remains in judicial custody under scrutiny for corruption and money laundering associated with the purported scam.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was placed in CBI custody for three days starting June 26 by vacation judge Amitabh Rawat, who noted that the arrest, at this juncture, could not be deemed illegal. However, Judge Rawat cautioned against overzealousness on the part of the CBI.

Subsequently, on June 29, vacation judge Sunena Sharma directed Kejriwal into judicial custody as the CBI did not seek an extension of his remand at that point.

Last week, the investigative agency conducted an examination of the Chief Minister at Tihar jail, where he is currently held in judicial custody. This examination is part of the ongoing probe by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into the money laundering case.

Kejriwal's statement was recorded shortly after the Delhi High Court suspended the bail granted to him in the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) case. Following court approval, the CBI interrogated Kejriwal in court on June 26 and subsequently placed him under formal arrest in connection with the case.

Kejriwal was initially arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21. In May, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail until June 1, taking into consideration the general elections. He surrendered himself on June 2 following the expiration of the interim bail period.
