'You have to be ready to pay for your crime': Delhi BJP chief reacts on Kejriwal being sent to 14-day judicial custody

New Delhi: Denying the AAP's allegation that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest by the CBI in the excise policy case is a "conspiracy," Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Sunday stated that the central agencies are doing their duty and that courts make decisions based on evidence.
"The court's decision is given after examining the evidence. The central agencies are doing their work. If you have committed a crime, you have to be ready to pay for it," Sachdeva told ANI.
He also accused the AAP government in Delhi of corruption.
"Many drains have not been cleaned in Delhi. They only committed corruption. The people of Delhi want relief from the AAP government," Sachdeva said when asked about the waterlogging issue in Delhi following heavy rain on Friday and Saturday.
The Delhi Court sent Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judicial custody until July 12 in connection with the excise policy case. The Bharatiya Janata Party welcomed the court's decision, while the Aam Aadmi Party called it a "conspiracy" by the BJP.
The Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi on Saturday sent Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till July 12 in connection with the excise policy case.
Reacting to the development, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said that they had heard the CBI's arguments, which he described as "imaginary stories" with no relation to the truth, adding that such stories do not hold up in court.
"Arvind Kejriwal was first kept in police custody and today he has been taken into judicial custody in a false case. The court's order is not out as of now," Singh said.
Delhi Environment Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Rai called it a "conspiracy" by the Bharatiya Janata Party government and said that AAP ministers and the CM have been jailed in "fake cases."
"Our ministers and CM have been jailed in fake cases. This is a conspiracy by the BJP government. The facts have come out. The Trial Court gave bail to the CM, stating clearly that there was no proof against him. The ED went to the High Court without taking the order copy. The bail was stayed without a hearing. This is a campaign to destroy the Delhi government and the AAP. We hope to get optimistic results from the Court soon," Gopal Rai said.
Advocate Rishikesh Kumar said, "Arvind Kejriwal was produced before the court because his three-day CBI custody came to an end today. The CBI did not seek further police custody; they sought a judicial remand, which we opposed, stating they have no grounds for it. Now, Arvind Kejriwal will be produced before the court on July 12. We moved an application for him to be provided with his diabetes medicines, test kits, and home-cooked food, and the court has agreed to our demands. On Monday or Tuesday, we will move a bail application."
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held a nationwide protest against the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy case.
