Summary
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case on March 21. The chief minister has not stepped down post his arrest with the AAP asserting that he would run the government from jail.
Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh raised concerns over the safety of party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday, April 25, alleging that his life is at risk in Tihar Jail. Singh’s remarks followed reports of a scuffle between inmate groups within the jail premises. Kejriwal is currently incarcerated in Tihar Jail in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged liquor scam.
Singh emphasised the dangers posed within Tihar Jail, citing previous instances of violence and even murders. He voiced apprehensions about a potential conspiracy against Kejriwal, expressing frustration that such warnings are often dismissed. Singh criticised the opposition, labelling them as “vicious and dangerous people.”
Earlier, Singh had accused the jail administration of abruptly cancelling Delhi Minister Atishi’s scheduled meeting with Kejriwal. Despite official sources confirming Atishi’s rescheduled meeting for April 29, Singh questioned the last-minute cancellation of her previous appointment, along with Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj’s meeting.
Singh’s concerns extended to the possibility of Kejriwal being denied visits from even close family members in the future. He denounced the cancellations as reminiscent of oppressive colonial-era tactics.
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case. Despite his incarceration, the AAP maintains that Kejriwal will continue to govern from behind bars.
