Atishi: Aam Aadmi Party today alleged that BJP is planning to arrest four more of its leaders in the coming months in the liquor scam case.
Briefing media in New Delhi, party leader and Delhi Minister Atishi alleged that BJP is using central agencies to crush AAP. She claimed that BJP approached her and threatened her with arrest if she didn’t join them.
She added that along with her, AAP leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj, Durgesh Pathak and Raghav Chadha will be arrested in the next two months.
Meanwhile, BJP has hit back at AAP on the allegation that she was approached to join BJP. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva termed the allegation as false. He added that when Mr. Kejriwal gave the statement that Vijay Nair used to report to Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj, and today Atishi also took the names of Durgesh Pathak and Raghav Chadha.
Mr. Sachdeva said that entire Aam Aadmi Party was involved in the corruption along with CM Kejriwal himself.
Earlier today,
The Supreme Court on Tuesday (April 2) granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor policy case after a concession was made by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED).
When the ED said it has no objection to grant of bail to Sanjay Singh in peculiar facts of the case, the Court ordered his release, clarifying that nothing was being expressed on merits.
The bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta and PB Varale passed the order, while orally commenting that Singh would be entitled to indulge in political activities during the period of bail.
Singh is not supposed to make any public statement regarding the case, the Court added, while dismissing as infructuous the second petition filed by Singh challenging his arrest and remand.
