The Enforcement Directorate had arrested Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with corruption allegations related to the city's liquor policy.

A Delhi court on Monday sent chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody until April 15 in a money laundering case linked to a now-scrapped liquor policy, less than three weeks before the country begins voting in Lok Sabha elections.

The probe agency sought 15-day judicial custody of Kejriwal and told the court that they may require further custody at a later date.
