Delhi chief minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal was on March 21 arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi liquor policy case. Kejriwal was initially sent to seven-day ED custody. On March 28, special CBI judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court extended the Delhi CM’s remand in ED custody till April 1. Kejriwal personally addressed the court as the ED’s plea for a seven-day extension was being heard.
The Delhi CM told the court that the sole objective of the ED was to implicate him in the liquor policy case. Against this backdrop, an alleged exchange between the Delhi CM and additional solicitor general (ASG) SV Raju has gone viral on social media.
Premium subscribed X (formerly Twitter) user AAP Ka Mehta 🇮🇳 (@DaaruBaazMehta) tweeted the following on March 28:
“Arvind Kejriwal in Court : Why have you arrested me?
ASG Raju : We have a statement against you.
Kejriwal : So if I say I gave 100 crores to Modi and Amit Shah, will you go and arrest them based on my statement?
Judge and ASG both went quiet 😂😂😂
Savage.
#ArvindKejriwal”.
The tweet has received over 15 Lakh views and has been retweeted over 2,500 times. (Archive)
