Arvind Kejriwal presented his opinion in the court
Arvind Kejriwal submitted his opinion after the permission of the court. Kejriwal said I am neither accused nor guilty. I have been arrested without any grounds. I want to thank the officials of the European Department that I am being questioned in a good environment.
Kejriwal said that I have been arrested based on the statement of secretary Manish Sisodia. Many ministers come to my house and have to deal with documents. In such a situation, if the draft of the policy was found in my house then I was not guilty.
ED wants to crush Aam Aadmi Party. There was talk of Rs 100 crore, but this money is nowhere to be found. Kejriwal took the name of Sharad Reddy and said that after his arrest, Sharad Reddy had given Rs 50 crore to the BJP. In this way the fraud has been done not by me but by the BJP.
ED’s response to Kejriwal’s allegations
ED said in court that we have evidence that Aam Aadmi Party got the reply through Hawala. How does Kejriwal know what documents the ED has?
The ED lawyer further said that the BJP did the alcohol scam, while the BJP was not in a position to decide the liquor policy of Delhi.
Before this, the ED team reached the court with Kejriwal. Along with his wife Sunita Kejriwal, sons are also present in the court. Finance Minister Atishi and Environment Minister Gopal Rai are also present in the court room. In the court corridor, Kejriwal told the media that this was a political arrest. The public will respond to this conspiracy.

He was arrested by ED on March 21 in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. The next day, the trial court sent him to ED custody until March 28.
The ED had told that to the Rouse Avenue court afterwards Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) The leaders benefited from Delhi’s liquor policy and used Rs 45 crore from it for Goa elections.
Kejriwal will reveal the truth: Sunita
Earlier on Wednesday, Kejriwal’s bail hearing was held in the Delhi High Court. Kejriwal was not immediately relieved. The next hearing will be held at the High Court on April 2.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for Kejriwal in the Delhi High Court, was vigorously cross-examined. Singhvi argued that Kejriwal’s arrest was based on the statements of accused persons who later turned witnesses for the government. Apart from the evidence, the agency has no evidence against Kejriwal. Singhvi compared the government’s witnesses to the medieval king Jaichand
