Earlier in the day, the Delhi High Court suspended a trial court's order to grant bail to Kejriwal, holding that the lower court did not "appropriately appreciate" the material placed before it by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

On the CBI action, AAP leader Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP has hatched a conspiracy with CBI officers to frame Delhi CM in a "fake case".

In his video message posted on X, Singh said, "We have learnt from reliable sources that the BJP-led Centre has hatched a conspiracy with CBI officers at a time when there is a huge possibility of Kejriwal getting bail from the SC. They have planned to frame him in a fake case by the CBI and get him arrested. The entire country is watching the atrocities of the BJP. How will one get justice in such circumstances? People will stand up against this."
