No. of Paragraph 27

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, arrested a week ago by the Enforcement Directorate that is probing the Delhi excise policy case, told a Delhi court Thursday that the ED has two motives: To create a smokescreen to crush the AAP, and to create an extortion racket.

Produced before the Rouse Avenue Court of Special Judge Kaweri Baweja at the end of his six-day remand in ED custody, Kejriwal argued his own case and told the judge he was “ready to join the investigation”.

The ED sought his custody for seven more days but the court granted only four days — the remand will end April 1.

Making his submission, Kejriwal targeted the BJP: “Sarath Reddy (P Sarath Chandra Reddy, director of Aurobindo Pharma and co-accused-turned-approver in the case) contributed Rs 55 crore to the BJP. He bought his bail… The money trail is clearly established here.” He also asked that the electoral bonds be submitted in court to show that Rs 55 crore was donated to the BJP by Reddy.
