Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been remanded to 6 days of ED custody. In accordance with the court's orders, ED will present Kejriwal in court by 2 PM on March 28th, detailing investigative progress and next steps. The interrogation of Kejriwal will be conducted under CCTV surveillance, and the footage will be securely retained.
Under Section 41D of the CrPC, accused Arvind Kejriwal is permitted to meet his attorneys, Mohammad Irshad and Vivek Jain, from 6 PM to 7 PM. During ED’s custody, Kejriwal is also allowed to meet his wife Sunita Kejriwal and personal secretary Vibhav Kumar for half an hour daily. Considering Kejriwal's poor health, the court has ordered ED to provide a diet suggested by doctors. In case of non-compliance, Kejriwal will be permitted to have home-cooked food.
