New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal will run the Government from jail, said Delhi Minister Atishi. She said that they have filed a case in the Supreme Court and their lawyers are heading to the apex court to demand an urgent hearing on Thursday night itself.

The AAP leaders said that BJP is making vindictive politics which is murdering democracy.  Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said it was BJP’s plan to put all top leaders in jail. The ED raided CM’s residence, completely searched the house and found nothing. They found only a cash of Rs 70 K which they even returned. This is nothing but murder of democracy, he said.

The ED officials had already anticipated that a large number of AAP workers could try to reach the CM’s residence in protest against the action, a heavy security ring including the personnel of the Rapid Action Force was put in place initially. Later, Section 144 was also imposed around Kejriwal’s residence a little before the arrest.

The agitated AAP leaders, raising slogans against the Centre-ruled BJP and like AAP zindabad’, and ‘Arvind bhai tum sangharsh karo, hum tumhare sath hain, started gathering near CM’s official residence at Civil Lines and staged a massive protest against their leader’s arrest after which the police forcibly detained them from the spot.

AAP MLA Rakhi Birla who was also detained by police and forcibly pushed into a police bus, alleged that she was punched by one of the police women.

Senior police officers including Deputy Commissioner of Police (north) MK Meena and ACPs were present at the spot.
