‘Conman’ Sukesh threatens to expose Arvind Kejriwal, says ‘will become approver against Delhi CM’

'Conman' Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is at present lodged in Tihar Jail over his alleged involvement in Rs 200 crore ($23.9 million) money laundering case, on Saturday (Mar 23) threatened to expose Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal following his arrest.

He stated that he would become an approver against the AAP supremo 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," Chandrasekhar said.

"All the evidence has been given. Truth has prevailed. I welcome him to the Tihar jail," he said on being asked if he had any evidence regarding the Delhi chief minister.

Chandrashekhar's remarks came hours after Kejriwal was remanded to the custody of the Enforcement Directorate for seven days, i.e., until March 28.

He was arrested on Thursday (March 21) in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam case by the central probe agency.

'No jail can keep me behind bars for long,' Kejriwal's wife reads out his message

Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Saturday (Mar 23) read out her husband's message from prison stating that he would be out soon.

"There are several forces within and outside India that are weakening the country. We have to be alert, identify these forces and defeat them," said Sunita Kejriwal in a video address.

"...Women in Delhi must be thinking that Kejriwal is behind bars. Who knows if they would get Rs 1,000? I appeal to them to trust their brother, their son. There is no jail that can keep him behind bars for long. I will come out soon and keep my promise..." the message further read.

Chandrasekhar is accused of cheating and extortion from Aditi Singh, wife of former promoter of Religare Enterprises Shivinder Mohan Singh.

He was arrested in October 2019 over his alleged role in a case related to the misappropriation of funds at Religare Finvest Ltd.
