Amid high-voltage drama that unfolded contained in the Rouse Avenue court during the Delhi Excise coverage rip-off hearing against Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Chief Minister mentioned that there’s a political conspiracy that’s geared toward ending the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The celebration’s nationwide convener was arrested by the ED on March 21 in an excise policy-linked cash laundering case.
The CM sought permission to talk and commenced his statements by saying that he had been arrested with out a case. He made the submissions because the Enforcement Directorate (ED) produced him in the court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja and sought seven days additional custody, arguing he must be confronted with some individuals linked with the case.

Kejriwal: I’ve been arrested… Nor has any case been filed against me… C Arvind was Manish Sisodia’s PA. He mentioned that Manish gave the papers to C Arvind in my home. Is this sufficient to arrest the CM? No court has discovered me responsible… ED and CBI have filed reviews working into hundreds of pages. Thanks to ED this case has been occurring for 2 years.
“I am named by four witnesses in the excise policy case. Are 4 statements enough to arrest a sitting CM?”
Kejriwal requested whether or not this can be a correct floor to arrest a Chief Minister. CM mentioned, “There was a statement from Ragunta that he had come to me asking for land, I had said that the land falls within LG purview.”
ED then objected to Kejriwal talking. Taking the objection into cognisance, the court mentioned, “If Kejriwal has anything to say then he should give a written statement to the court.”
Kejriwal: I’m not opposing ED’s remand, it could preserve me for as many days because it desires. It’s being alleged that there it was a Rs 100 cr rip-off…Justice Sanjiv Khanna mentioned that the cash path shouldn’t be but traced…The motive of ED is to crush the Aam Aadmi Party.
What ED alleged
Aam Aadmi Party took the bribe and used it in Goa elections… We have paperwork that this cash was used in the Goa elections by way of the Hawala route. The cash that Kejriwal is speaking about giving to BJP has nothing to do with the liquor rip-off… There is not any case of collusion (bribe) in it… Kejriwal shouldn’t be a standard particular person. Kejriwal has employed huge legal professionals for the hearing, not each regular particular person has this facility.
ED mentioned that this matter continues to be on the stage of investigation, how can there be discuss of trial right here?
