A Delhi court on Tuesday extended the period of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody till August 27 in a corruption case lodged by the CBI in connection with the alleged excise scam.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kejriwal's custody after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was produced before the court via video-conference, following the expiration of his initial custody period.

The court is expected to consider a supplementary chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Kejriwal on August 27.
