New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday commenced hearing on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by the ED in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.

A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta was given a note by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the ED, in which he contradicted the submission of Kejriwal that the statements of approvers were suppressed by the probe agency.

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail under judicial custody.
