Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is currently lodged in Delhi’s Mandoli Jail in fraud involving hundreds of crores, has wished to be a part of the investigation of the Delhi Liquor Scam. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate(ED) during a money laundering probe linked with the Excise Policy case. Sukesh has written to Home Minister Amit Shah in this regard. In his letter, Sukesh has enclosed a screenshot of his conversation that took place on WhatsApp.
The individuals with whom he allegedly had conversations with include BRS MLC K Kavitha, former Delhi Minister Satyendra Jain, and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. As per Sukesh, the chat allegedly provides details of cash transactions. It mentions the use of the code word "Ghee Tin" for the money.

Arvind Kejriwal Arrest:
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case linked with the Delhi Excise policy. This came hours after the Delhi High Court turned down his interim protection plea. Kejriwal was sent to ED custody until March 28, which was extended until April 1.
He was sent to judicial custody for 15 days by the court after ED said they didn’t want to further question him, adding that he was "uncooperative" and gave evasive answers.
