“Inside the jail, Arvind Kejriwal is being tortured at the behest of the Government of India and PM Modi,” said Singh who was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court of India.
Action is being taken to break his morale, he added during a press conference.
He also said that the Delhi CM’s wife was not allowed to meet him face to face.
“When the wife of Arvind Kejriwal applied to meet him, she was told that you cannot meet him face-to-face but through a window. Why such inhuman behaviour… This inhuman act has been done just to humiliate and discourage the CM. I am saying with full responsibility that even the dreaded criminals are allowed to meet in the barrack, but a three-time CM of Delhi is allowed to meet his wife through a window having a glass in between,” Singh alleged.
Today, the fight is to save democracy and the Constitution, he said.”I would request PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah not to take away the rights of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, which are guaranteed constitutionally, democratically, legally and under the prison rules. Don’t try to be a dictator,” he added.Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody will end on April 15, after which he will be presented in court.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday upheld the legality of Kejriwal’s arrest by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in the Excise Case and said the repeated non-compliance of summons for over six months by Arvind Kejriwal was a contributing factor in his arrest.
Had the petitioner joined the investigation according to the issuance of summons under Section 50 of PMLA, he could have given his version before the investigating agency against the material that it had collected, said the court.
Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the ED concerning the excise policy case.
The trial court on April 1, sent Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till April 15, 2024.
ED alleged that the AAP is the major beneficiary of the proceeds of crime generated in the alleged liquor scam.
