With Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal arrested by the CBI, his wife Sunita on Wednesday alleged the whole system is trying to ensure that her husband does not come out of jail and that this is akin to “dictatorship” and “emergency”.The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused the BJP of getting Kejriwal arrested in a “fake case” by the CBI.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday formally arrested Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy case and sought five-day custody of the AAP national convener.
In a post on X in Hindi, Sunita said her husband got bail on June 20 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case but the Enforcement Directorate (ED) immediately got a stay.
The very next day, the CBI made him an accused. And today he was arrested. The whole system is trying to ensure that the man does not come out of jail. This is not law. This is dictatorship, this is emergency,” she said.
The AAP also condemned Kejriwal’s arrest.
“The dictator crossed all limits of cruelty!! Today when there was every possibility of Chief Minister @ArvindKejriwal getting bail, the BJP went into panic mode and got Kejriwal arrested by the CBI in a fake case.
