"Your son and brother Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has sent a message from the jail - 'my dear countrymen I have been arrested. Whether I am inside the jail or not, I will continue to serve the country. My entire life is dedicated to the country. I have struggled a lot in my life, and I know that this will continue. Therefore, this arrest has not surprised me'," said Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal at a virtual press conference.

“No prison can keep me inside, I will come out and fulfil my promise. This is my promise to the mothers and sisters of Delhi. Has it ever happened that Kejriwal has kept a promise and hasn't honoured it? Your brother and son is made of iron:” said Sunita quoting Delhi CM Kejriwal's message written in ED custody.
The Delhi CM was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, in connection with a money laundering case related to excise policy case or liquor scam.
