Raghav Chadha To Be Arrested Soon: Arvind Kejriwal Claims AAP MP To Be Framed In Charges Amid Guj Campaigning
Raghav Chadha was nominated co-in-charge of Gujarat ahead of the elections earlier this month and has been participating in party operations in the state.
Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi and the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), claimed on Friday that the party's Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha may be arrested soon.
Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal stated: “Since the time that Chadha has been appointed the co-in-charge of Gujarat and he has started campaigning in the state, we are hearing that these people will now arrest him. What the case and the allegations will be are still being thought up."
जब से राघव चड्ढा को गुजरात का सह प्रभारी नियुक्त किया है और उन्होंने गुजरात में चुनाव प्रचार के लिए जाना चालू किया है, अब सुन रहे हैं कि राघव चड्ढा को भी ये लोग गिरफ़्तार करेंगे। किस केस में करेंगे और क्या आरोप होंगे, ये अभी ये लोग बना रहे हैं

Chadha was elected as the AAP's Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab in March. Before being transferred to Punjab as the party's co-in-charge ahead of the Assembly elections, he was an MLA from Delhi's Rajinder Nagar and the vice chairperson of the Delhi Jal Board.
He was nominated co-in-charge of Gujarat ahead of the elections earlier this month and has been participating in party operations in the state.
Kejriwal's remark comes at a time when the AAP has been embroiled in a slew of controversy for over four months. It began with the arrest of its minister, Satyendar Jain, by the Enforcement Directorate in a case of alleged money laundering. He has been imprisoned for four months.
Following this, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxena suggested a CBI investigation into the now-cancelled Delhi liquor policy. Within a few weeks, the CBI filed a FIR against 15 individuals, including Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, and Vijay Nair, the AAP's director of communications.
Nair was taken into custody by the investigative agency earlier this week, while Sisodia's home was searched and his bank locker was examined.
Durgesh Pathak, another AAP lawmaker, was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate earlier this month in relation to the alcohol policy.
