Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that he will surrender on June 2 and will leave his Civil Lines Residence at 3 pm on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea for a 7-day extension of his interim bail on health grounds.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 over the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy case.
The chief minister was released on bail on May 10 to participate in the campaigning process for the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
“I will go back to Tihar Jail the day after tomorrow as 21 days will be over on June 2. I do not know how long I will stay in the jail this time,” Kejriwal said.
On Monday (May 27), Kejriwal filed a fresh petition in the Supreme Court, seeking a 7-day extension of his interim bail on health grounds.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said the Delhi CM was due to undergo PET-CT scan and other tests, as a result of which a seven-day extension of interim bail has been requested.
Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi told the media: “He lost seven kilograms of weight soon after he was arrested. He has not regained that weight yet. His ketone level has come very high in the test. Doctors believe that more tests need to be done on him; therefore, this petition has been filed.”
