Arvind Kejriwal arrest: Atishi plans 'explosive expose' today

Aam Aadmi Party minister Atishi said that she would be doing what she calls an explosive expose on April 2 morning.

The AAP leader made the announcement on social media X, hours after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was jailed in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.

It is unclear what could the expose be about, but speculations are rife that it could be linked to the scam.

Kejriwal, who is the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was produced in the court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja after his ED custody came to an end.

"Since the investigation of the case is stated to be pending qua role of the arrestee, for unearthing the further proceeds of crime and identifying the other person who may be involved or connected, the accused is remanded to judicial custody till April 15," the judge said.

Kejriwal is the fourth AAP leader to land in jail after Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and former minister Satyendar Jain. All were arrested by central probe agencies in corruption cases.

The chief minister's petition challenging his arrest will come up for hearing before the Delhi High Court on April 3.

In its order, the court of Judge Baweja noted the contentions of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in its remand application, including the likelihood of Kejriwal's release hampering the ongoing investigation.
