AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Friday said the senior leadership of the BJP hatched a conspiracy to put Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal behind bars in the excise policy case.
Addressing a press conference two days after coming out of jail, Singh accused the BJP of pressurising Raghav Magunta, who is an accused-turned-approver in the Delhi excise policy case, into giving a false statement against Kejriwal.
The Delhi chief minister was arrested on March 21 in connection with the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Singh, who was also arrested in connection with the case, said action was taken against Raghav Magunta’s father — YSR Congress Party Lok Sabha MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy — on September 16, 2022.
“He was pressurised into giving a false statement against Kejriwal but when he refused, his son Raghav Reddy was arrested. After continuous questioning, Raghav Reddy changed his statement against Kejriwal and became a part of a larger conspiracy,” Singh alleged.
