The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) levied serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday, claiming that the BJP orchestrated a panic arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to preclude a probable bail from the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.

Earlier, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) formally arrested Kejriwal following an order from Special Judge Amitabh Rawat. The agency has sought a five-day custody of the chief minister in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

In a fiery post on X, the AAP stated, "Dictator crossed all limits of cruelty! When bail was imminent, BJP panicked and had Kejriwal arrested in a fake case. Despite severe measures, Kejriwal's resolve remains unbroken."
