Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accused the Enforcement Directorate of ”misleading” the court with false evidence in the excise policy case.
He was talking to reporters after attending the Ambedkar Jayanti celebrations at the Delhi Assembly.
“The ED is taking false statements by torturing people and pressuring them. Even in the case of Sanjay Singh, it has come to the fore that the accused gave a different statement and the ED has written something else in the charge sheet,” Kejriwal said, replying to a question about the ED’s charge that his former deputy Manish Sisodia destroyed his mobile phones.
In March, the ED had claimed before a Delhi court that Sisodia was involved in “large scale destruction of digital evidence to impede investigation” into the Delhi excise policy case and had changed and destroyed 14 phones
“The ED is misleading the court with false evidence, torturing people, taking false statements. There is nothing in this whole matter, the whole matter is fabricated and is based on false evidence. This is not a good thing,” he said.
“Today is the birthday of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the biggest shining star in the history of India, who got higher education after a lot of struggle and finally wrote the Constitution of India,” he said.
“Babasaheb gave the biggest message in his life that everyone should get good education. And following his path, we too are giving utmost importance to education. Whether it is the child of the poor or the child of the rich, everyone should get good education,” he added.
Sisodia was arrested in a money laundering case related to the alleged exci “The Enforcement Directorate has been lying before the court all this while. They said 14 mobile phones were destroyed by Sisodia but the reality is, no mobile phones were destroyed by the former deputy chief minister.
