New Delhi: On Tuesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) examined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail and recorded his statement in connection with the excise policy case. The probe agency has also reportedly received permission to produce Kejriwal before its trial court on Wednesday ahead of the Supreme Court’s hearing on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo’s plea against the stay on his bail.
Meanwhile, as Kejriwal will be produced before the CBI court ahead of the top court’s hearing, the probe agency officials said that they are likely to arrest Kejriwal in the case today officially, reported citing CBI sources.
Shortly after the CBI examined Kejriwal in Tihar jail, the AAP alleged that the BJP-led union government and the CBI are “conspiring” to register a fake case against the Delhi CM ahead of a court hearing. “At a time when there is a cent percent possibility that Arvind Kejriwal will get bail from the Supreme Court, sources have informed me that the Centre is conspiring to register a fake CBI case against the Delhi CM and get him arrested by the CBI…The entire nation can see this and is standing in solidarity with Arvind Kejriwal,” AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said.
Singh also claimed that the Centre’s alleged actions are driven by the possibility that the Supreme Court might grant Kejriwal bail.
