Most CBI officers did not want to arrest Manish Sisodia, but...: Kejriwal's claim, BJP's counter

Ahead of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister's presentation in court by the CBI, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal claimed that "most CBI officers" were against Manish Sisodia's arrest.

The Aam Aadmi Party chief added that all CBI officers "have huge respect" for Sisodia, and don't have any evidence against him. But political pressure on CBI to arrest the AAP leader was "so high" that the officers had to "obey their political masters", Kejriwal added.

In response, BJP leader Manoj Tiwari said that Kejriwal had spread similar "fake news" about the Intelligence Bureau in Gujarat. Tiwari said that Kejriwal was scared at the possibility of the CBI probe growing larger.
