“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.

“During consultations, dieticians sometimes instruct how to cook certain food items, and such instructions should be conveyed to my family members… there are various consultation that take place which only my wife can appreciate… this is on humanitarian grounds,” Kejriwal had said in the courtroom on July 3.
