High drama as ACB notice to Kejriwal on 'poaching' claim

THE national capital witnessed an intense political drama as the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) team arrived at Arvind Kejriwal's residence at 5, Ferozeshah Road, on Friday, a day after the AAP chief had alleged that the BJP attempted to poach his party leaders offering them money.

The ACB move came after L-G VK Saxena sanctioned a probe into the AAP chief's allegations.

In a notice, the ACB asked Kejriwal to join the investigation into the BJP's alleged attempts to bribe 16 AAP candidates with ₹15 crore each to switch sides. However, tension erupted as AAP leaders refused to allow ACB officials to meet Kejriwal, accusing them of acting at the behest of the BJP.
