Arvind Kejriwal ‘giving false, contrary statements’: 10 key takeaways from ED's judicial remand application

livemint.com:

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was on Monday sent to judicial custody till April 15 by the Rouse Avenue Court in an alleged money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), while seeking direction to send the Delhi Chief Minister to judicial custody, said the arrestee (Kejriwal) is not only concealing the information but also misleading the probe agency by giving false and contrary statements and vis-a-vis other members of his party.

The federal agency informed the Rouse Avenue Court that when it confronted him with the statements given by other AAP leaders, he called them confused. "It was also put to the arrestee to explain why would someone, who reported to other leaders of AAP, work from his camp office which anyways is meant for the work of the CM of Delhi and not for the party.

Kejriwal evaded replying to this by claiming unawareness to the persons who work at the CM camp office," ED said. "It was put to the arrestee to explain the authority with which Nair attended these meetings, the arrestee evaded the question by claiming unawareness of these persons and it is clear that a senior functionary like Nair who closely worked with the arrestee wouldn't be able to assert himself without the sanction and approval of the head of the party.
