The court also appeared to rebuke AAP leader Prashant Bhushan and his father, former law minister Shanti Bhushan, who are representing Mr Kejriwal. ( Court verdict : Kejriwal To Remain in Jail Till June 6)........................
The court said, addressing AAP leader Prashant Bhushan and his father, former law minister Shanti Bhushan,"Kejriwal should be given proper counselling by you," .
The AAP chief was jailed on Wednesday and first sent to judicial custody for two days. The court ordered 14 more days in custody when Mr Kejriwal remained adamant on not furnishing a bail bond.
After today's hearing, Prashant Bhushan went to the Tihar jail, apparently to persuade Mr Kejriwal to come out of jail and then fight his case, as the court had advised.
