New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): After the Central Bureau of Investigation examined Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar Jail and recorded his statement related to the Excise Policy case, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president Virendraa Sachdeva suggested Aam Aadmi Party leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj, Atishi, and Sanjay Singh to question Congress party and said that the case on which the CBI is working, was lodged by the Congress.
The Central Bureau of Investigation examined Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar Jail and recorded his statement related to the Excise Policy case on Tuesday. CBI also got permission for Arvind Kejriwal’s production before the concerned trial court Wednesday. He will be produced before the court on Wednesday.
“CBI has already interrogated Arvind Kejriwal in this case. Manish Sisodia has also been arrested by the CBI in the same case… Saurabh Bharadwaj, Atishi, and Sanjay Singh should question Congress, because the case on which the CBI is working, was lodged by the Congress. They should ask Rahul Gandhi why did they not withdraw their complaint when they formed an alliance for the elections. Does Sanjay Singh want investigative agencies to work according to him?” Sachdeva told ANI.
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the Excise Policy money laundering case on March 21, 2024, and is presently in Judicial Custody in the case.
According to the CBI sources, he is likely to be officially arrested in the case before the court today.
Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Lawyer also posted on X and said, “The dirty tricks of the Modi government fears the release of Arvind Kejriwal by SC has asked to CBI to make arrest in the same matter almost a year after he joined the investigation. What it shows nothing changed the vindictive mindset of BJ. Shame.”
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail order passed by the trial court, saying that the trial court should have at least recorded its satisfaction with the fulfilment of twin conditions of section 45 of Prevention of the Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before passing the impugned order.
The vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, while passing the order, said that documents and arguments were not appreciated properly by the trial court.
A vacation bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti observed that the decision of the High Court to grant an interim stay on Kejriwal’s bail without passing a final order in the matter was “unusual”.
On June 21, the High Court ordered the grant of an interim stay on bail while reserving its order and asked both sides to file their written submissions by Monday. Kejriwal then filed an appeal in the top court against the High Court order.
On June 20, the trial judge granted bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case. The next day, the ED moved an urgent petition before the High Court challenging the bail order. The High Court heard both sides extensively reserve orders on the ED’s application to stay the bail order and halted the release of Kejriwal until the pronouncement of its order. (ANI)
