Arvind Kejriwal Arrest: Jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar on Saturday threatened to expose the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said that he would become an approver against him and his team. "I will become an approver against Kejriwal and his team. I will expose him. I will make sure he is brought to task," Chandrashekhar told reporters when he was being produced in the court.

Chandrashekhar, currently lodged in jail in a money laundering case, took a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener on his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the now-scrapped excise policy case, saying that the truth has prevailed. "Truth has prevailed. I welcome him to the Tihar jail," he said as quoted by news agency ANI.

His remarks came a day after the AAP supremo was sent to six-day ED custody after the probe agency arrested Kejriwal in the money-laundering case linked to a liquor excise policy case. On Friday, the Delhi Rouse Avenue court sent the AAP chief to ED custody till March 28.

Sukesh Chandrasekhar who is accused of cheating and extortion from Aditi Singh, wife of a former promoter of Religare Enterprises Shivinder Mohan Singh, was arrested in October 2019 in a case related to alleged misappropriation of funds at Religare Finvest Ltd. Aditi reportedly gave money to Chandrasekhar and his associates after they pretended to be government representatives and assured her that her husband would be granted bail.

Conman Chandrasekhar reportedly persuaded Aditi to transfer money by impersonating a central government official over a spoof call while he was lodged in Rohini jail, and she promised to manage bail for her husband. Both Chandrasekhar and his actor wife, Leena Maria Paul, were arrested by the Delhi Police last year for their alleged role in the duping case.
