Later that evening, he was placed in Tihar Jail in the national capital. During the hearing, the Enforcement Directorate informed the Rouse Avenue Court that Kejriwal had implicated his party colleagues Atishi and Saurabh in the excise policy scam case.

Kejriwal claimed that one of the accused in the case, Vijay Nair, who was also the former communication-in-charge of AAP, used to report to Atishi.

In a turn of events on Tuesday, Delhi minister Atishi addressed a press conference in which she said that she was asked to ‘join the BJP or face ED action.’ She further claimed that this warning was extended to three other AAP leaders: Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, MLA Durgesh Pathak, and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, who were also allegedly at risk of arrest.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj also made similar comments.

Meanwhile, hitting back at the AAP's allegations against it, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, "If they have all the evidence in their command why don't the courts give them relief? This is the same party which said a few months ago that 800 crore had been kept by the BJP, they are breaking our party we have an audio tape we are going to disclose it but where is that audio tape?... This party has the track record of making the most number of lies and the most number of untruthful statements..."
