Sunita Kejriwal, wife of jailed Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, released a video message on Saturday alleging that her husband is a victim of “deep political conspiracy”, and has been arrested by ED on ‘false statement by witness’.
“Kejriwal ji was arrested based on a statement of NDA MP Magunta Sreenisaulu Reddy. On December 17, 2022, ED conducted a raid on MSR's residence and he was asked whether he had ever met Kejriwal. He said that yes, I met him to buy land in Delhi. ED was not happy with his statement. ED arrested his son too,” PTI quoted Sunita Kejriwal as saying.
“MSR's family was having a hard time. MSR, on July 17, 2023, changed his statement and said that on March 16, 2021, I met Kejriwal and he asked me to start liquor business in Delhi and in return give ₹100 crore to AAP. The next day, MSR's son was released from jail on bail. It is obviously a lie,” she added.
Sunita Kejriwal also asked people to support the Delhi chief minister, saying he is an honest, educated and patriotic man, and if the public does not support him, no educated person would want to join politics given the treatment meted out to the AAP leader.
