KEJRIWAL LANDS IN TIHAR JAIL
The Daily Guardian
|April 02, 2024
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was sent to Tihar Jail on Monday after being remanded in judicial custody till April 15 in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case, even as the Aam Aadmi Party dug in its heels asserting that he will remain the CM no matter how long he is kept in prison.

Kejriwal is the fourth top AAP leader to be lodged in the Tihar Jail after his former deputy Manish Sisodia, ex-health minister Satyendar Jain and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh.
On Monday, AAP sources indicated that Kejriwal's wife Sunita, who virtually made her political debut at the I.N.D.I.A bloc's "Loktantra Bachao" rally at the Ramlila ground a day earlier, is likely to assume a "significant role" in the party in the coming days.
Arvind Kejriwal was brought to Tihar at 4 pm and lodged in Jail Number 2, a prison official said, adding that he will be kept under watch for 24 hours.
"His medical examination was conducted. His sugar level was a bit low, but medicines were given to him as per our jail doctors' advice," said the official.
While Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, arrested in the same case, are lodged in Jail Number 1 and 5 respectively, BRS leader K Kavitha is in Jail Number 6. Jain, who is facing a different money laundering case, is in Jail Number 7.
The ED had sought 15-day judicial custody of Kejriwal, saying he was "completely non-cooperative".
