Delhi BJP unit chief Virendra Sachdeva said that the party's delegation during its meeting with Arora at the Delhi Police Headquarters demanded a probe into whether the "letters" being written by Kejriwal were genuine and also into the role of his ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj who have claimed to have received them. On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court issued notice to the ED on a petition moved by Kejriwal challenging his arrest and also challenging ED remand granted by the trial court while refusing to grant any immediate relief.
