ED deleted audio of questioning, says AAP leader Atishi

Atishi

Senior AAP leader Atishi on Tuesday slammed ED raids on party members' residences and accused the BJP-led Centre of trying to "scare and silence" the party.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the premises of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary Bibhav Kumar and AAP Rajya Sabha MP and party's treasurer ND Gupta as part of a money laundering case, official sources said.

Addressing a press conference, Atishi said raids were being conducted at the premises of Kumar and Gupta since 7 am. There are reports that the probe agency will conduct raids on the premises of other AAP leaders too, she claimed.

"Yesterday, I posted on Twitter about doing a big expose on the ED today. In response, to threaten AAP and silence the party, the ED has been raiding the residences of people related to the Aam Aadmi Party since 7 am today," Atishi said on Tuesday.
