The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi on Wednesday dismissed an interim bail plea moved by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal seeking seven days bail for medical reasons.

Arvind Kejriwal is back to Tihar jail, after his interim bail in a money-laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

The Rouse Avenue court extended the judicial custody of Arvind Kejriwal, who was produced virtually before the court, till June 19.

The court also directed the concerned authorities to conduct required medical tests of the Aam Aadmi Party chief. The court is scheduled to take up on June 7 Arvind Kejriwal's application seeking default bail in the case.

Kejriwal, arrested in March, was granted a temporary, three-week bail to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 that concluded on June 1 and he returned to pre-trial detention the following day.

On Sunday, the Rouse Avenue Court sent Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody until June 5. Duty judge Sanjeev Aggarwal noted that Arvind Kejriwal had surrendered to Tihar Jail following Supreme Court directions.

The court was hearing an application from the Enforcement Directorate seeking judicial custody of the Delhi chief minister. The application was pending as Arvind Kejriwal was on interim bail.

The court took up an application filed by ED seeking an extension of judicial custody by a period of 14 days. The ED had moved the application on May 20, while Kejriwal was out on interim bail granted to him by the Supreme Court.
