A false case: CM Kejriwal claims

Delhi CM and AAP convener has also claimed that a conspiracy has been hatched to defame such a person by framing him in a false case.

“If you arrest him and put him in jail in a false case, how will the country make progress? If the king of a country will send to jail those who give education to the children of the poor in that country and will hand over the entire country to two four friends, then how will the country progress?” CM Kejriwal added.

Highlighting his first meeting with Sisodia, he said that he first met Sisodia on December 29, 1999, when he was working in the Income Tax department. Notably, on Monday, Sisodia said that the CBI called him for questioning on February 26 in connection with the Delhi liquor excise policy case.
