Kejriwal Says Documents Seized From His Office Unrelated to CBI’s Probe

Jaitley dismissed the allegations and said claims of a government which was creating hurdles in the fight against corruption can not be trusted.

Meanwhile, unfazed by criticism over its action, the CBI on Wednesday continued with its probe and questioned CM’s Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar along with two other accused — Managing Director of Intelligent Communication System India Ltd (ICSIL) RS Kaushi and Director of accused private Endeavour Systems Dinesh Gupta — for nine hours.

The Delhi Government had last month ordered a probe into DDCA’s functioning after a group of veteran cricketers including Bishen Singh Bedi had met Kejriwal apprising him of alleged scam in DDCA. CBI kept reading DDCA file in my office.

A CBI Spokesperson, however, said the searches were being conducted only at the office of Kumar, a senior IAS officer.

As soon as the raids took place at Delhi Secretariat, Kejriwal wasted no time to lash out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and called him a coward and a psychopath. I am really surprised, as Arvind Kejriwal is an intelligent person, Why is he protecting someone who is facing charges?

Recently, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal demanded Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s resignation for alleged corruption during his 13-year reign as the president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).

Earlier, CBI sources claimed that the investigating body has seized foreign currency worth over Rs 3 lakh from Delhi Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar’s residence.

“Whatever party is ruling in the centre if it uses CBI against the opponent, how can it be independent?” he asked.

The AAP chief in a stern warning to Modi also thundered that he is not going to be cowed down by any CBI raid. Files of CM office are being looked into. Mr Jaitley come clean on DDCA!

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today denied neither having searched, nor sealing the Chief Minister Office (CMO), a day after the agency conducted searches at 14 places in the capital and Uttar Pradesh.

Responding to the statement of Mr. Jaitley, Mr. Kejriwal, in a series of tweets asked if the Finance Minister’s denial in press be taken as “gospel truth”?

Mr Sharma alleged that Mr Kejriwal has always defended colleagues found on the wrong side of the law and recalled how he had protected former Delhi law ministers Jitender Singh Tomar and Somnath Bharti, who have faced charges of forging certificates and domestic violence, respectively, and were arrested.
