New Delhi: A day after being sent to Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) custody until March 28, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday received a welcome message from conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
While being taken to a Delhi court, the conman said, “Truth has prevailed, I welcome him to the Tihar jail.”
Chandrashekhar, who is currently lodged in the Tihar Jail in a Rs 200-crore money laundering case, added that he would turn a government approver against Kejriwal and expose him.
A few days back, Chandrashekhar had sent a similar message to Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader K Kavitha, following her arrest by the ED on March 11 in the Delhi liquor policy case.
Referring to K Kavitha as ‘akka’ (South Indian word for elder sister), in a letter dated March 18, Chandrashekhar wrote: “Dramas of saying fake cases…allegations…have fallen flat. The truth has prevailed…all your karmas are coming back to you.”
He further claimed that the Kavitha’s arrest would lead to her “corrupt associates”, including “king of corruption, my dearest Arvind Kejriwal” to be “exposed to another level”.
Meanwhile, the Rouse Avenue Court has extended BRS leader’s ED remand till March 26.
This is not the first time the conman has written harsh letters to Kejriwal. He wrote a series of letters, criticising the Delhi CM and his party, after being being arrested in the extortion case last year.
Kejriwal was arrested in a dramatic turn of events on Thursday evening, following his questioning and searches at his residence by the federal agency. The following evening, the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court allowed ED to take Kejriwal on 6-day custody in the liquor policy case.
During the hearing, Kejriwal was termed as the “kingpin of scam” by the ED, which alleged that the proceeds of the crime in the Delhi liquor policy case heavily benefited the Aam Aadmi Party and were used in the Goa Assembly elections in 2022.
