The Delhi High Court rejects Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest in a money laundering case related to the excise scam, citing his alleged involvement in a conspiracy and use of proceeds of crime. AAP plans to appeal to the Supreme Court against the verdict. Kejriwal, labeled the 'kingpin' by the Enforcement Directorate, remains in Tihar Jail until April 15. The court notes his personal involvement in the now-scrapped liquor policy formulation and kickback demands. It asserts his arrest's legality, dismissing claims of election-timed targeting. Kejriwal's plea for extended lawyer meeting time awaits Rouse Avenue Court's decision.
