Kejriwal Awaits Court Verdict on Interim Bail in Money Laundering Case

The court has reserved its order until June 5 on Arvind Kejriwal's application for interim bail in a money laundering case related to the excise policy scam. The application was made on medical grounds. The ED argued that Kejriwal misled about his health, which the court must consider.

Arvind Kejriwal's fate hangs in the balance as a court reserved its decision until June 5 on his interim bail application amidst ongoing money laundering allegations. The AAP leader seeks bail on medical grounds, a claim contested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as misleading.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja scheduled the ruling, rejecting a plea to expedite the decision before Kejriwal's mandated surrender on June 2. The Supreme Court had granted him interim bail for election campaigning, but the ED contends he misused this liberty.

During court proceedings, the ED accused Kejriwal of fabricating his health condition to evade surrender. Kejriwal alleges severe jail conditions impacted his health, which he argues necessitates further medical tests outside detention.
