Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Thursday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) recovered Rs 70,000 in cash during its search at the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal following his arrest in the excise policy case. Bharadwaj also said the probe agency returned the seized cash.
“The Chief Minister’s house was searched. They just found Rs 70,000 in cash and returned it. They have taken the Chief Minister’s mobile and arrested him. They haven’t got any proof, evidence or money trail,” he told reporters.
Bharadwaj alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “scared” of Kejriwal and he had him arrested.
“Today, he has made Kejriwal arrested through agencies because he is in power. There is no one to stop him. They have arrested two Chief Ministers. Maybe they might arrest more,” he said while referring to the arrest of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a land fraud case.
