Arvind Kejriwal's Top Officer at CBI Again After Marathon Questioning
Rajender Gupta, Principal Secretary to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, is being questioned by the CBI for the second consecutive day

NEW DELHI:  Arvind Kejriwal's top bureaucrat arrived at the CBI headquarters again this morning after he was questioning for hours and released late last night on a day of dramatic developments that saw the Delhi Chief Minister calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "coward and psychopath" over daylong raids at his office.

Mr Kejriwal said he was the target of the raids, not his principal secretary Rajender Kumar, who has been accused of corruption.

Rajender Kumar, an IAS officer, has been accused of setting up various companies that were given work contracts without tenders at a huge loss to the Delhi government. The alleged irregularities took place before the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to power, first in 2013 and then earlier this year.

The CBI has charged Mr Kumar with criminal conspiracy and misconduct. The ruling AAP alleges that the evidence against him is not strong enough.

Last night, Mr Kejriwal said the real reason for the raid was to search his offices for a file linked to cricket corruption allegedly involving Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Mr Jaitley said in response: "His morning statement appeared to be prima facie factually incorrect but his evening statement is absolutely rubbish. I don't think I should comment on rubbish." Advertisement
