Kejriwal: I’ve been arrested… Nor has any case been filed towards me… C Arvind was Manish Sisodia’s PA. He stated that Manish gave the papers to C Arvind in my home. Is that this sufficient to arrest the CM? No courtroom has discovered me responsible… ED and CBI have filed reviews operating into hundreds of pages.

What ED alleged
Aam Aadmi Social gathering took the bribe and used it in Goa elections… Now we have paperwork that this cash was used within the Goa elections by the Hawala route. The cash that Kejriwal is speaking about giving to BJP has nothing to do with the liquor rip-off… There isn’t a case of collusion (bribe) in it… Kejriwal just isn’t a standard individual. Kejriwal has employed massive legal professionals for the listening to, not each regular individual has this facility.
ED stated that this matter remains to be on the stage of investigation, how can there be speak of trial right here?
