New Delhi, April 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has approached a court seeking permission to consult his regular doctor via video conferencing due to fluctuating blood sugar levels.
Special Judge Rakesh Syal of Rouse Avenue Court directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file a reply on the application and listed the matter for April 18.
On Monday, Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended CM Kejriwal's judicial custody till April 23 in the money laundering case related to an alleged excise policy scam being probed by the ED.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo was produced before Judge Baweja on Monday on the expiry of his previously granted 14-day judicial custody.
