Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday (Mar 28) extended Kejriwal's Enforcement Directorate cutody till April 1 in the excise policy case.

The central probe agency had sought a seven-day extension of the Delhi chief minister's custodial remand at the court stating that they would be requiring further interrogation of Kejriwal in order to confront him with a set of other people.

However, the court stated that the AAP chief has to be produced before it on Monday (Apr 1) at 11 am.

He was produced in the court before special Judge Kaveri Baweja who extended the ED remand period until April 1, 2024.
