Kejriwal was produced in the court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja on Monday after his Enforcement Directorate custody came to an end.
Arrested Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody was again extended until April 15 by a Delhi court.
Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to now-scrapped liquor policy.
Kejriwal was produced in the court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja on Monday after his Enforcement Directorate custody came to an end.
The central probe agency sought 15-day judicial custody of Kejriwal and told the court that they may require further custody at a later date, reported Hindustan Times.
Additional solicitor general S V Raju, appearing for the ED, said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo has been “non-cooperative” during the custody and has been “evasive” with the replies.
"He has deliberately not given passwords to the electronic devices," Raju said.
Before entering court, the AAP leader said, "Whatever the prime minister is doing (referring to his arrest) is not good for the country".
AAP ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal were present in court.
Meanwhile, Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi Marlena on Tuesday while addressing questions on whether Kejriwal will submit his resignation or not, said that Arvind Kejriwal has not yet been convicted in the Delhi excise policy scam case.
"Arvind Kejriwal has not been convicted... Arvind Kejriwal enjoys the overwhelming majority of the Delhi Assembly, so there is no reason for Arvind Kejriwal to resign. If Arvind Kejriwal resigns today, then, it will be a very simple and straightforward solution for the Bharatiya Janata Party to topple the opposition governments," she was quoted as saying by Business Today.
The Delhi high court had also refused to entertain a plea seeking to restrain the chief minister from issuing orders while in ED’s custody in the money laundering case.
The ED however told the court that it is not providing any infrastructure and apparatus to the chief minister for passing orders.
