A team of senior officials recorded his statement.The CBI has filed a charge sheet in the mattet and now they are all set to file a supplementary charge sheet.

Arvind Kejriwal joined the probe at the CBI headquarters at 11.05 a.m. and questioning lasted over nine hours before ending at around 8.15 p.m., after which he left the CBI headquarters for his residence. Holding a press conference at his house, he told media persons that he was asked 56 questions and he gave answers to all.

In response to the Lt Governor's criticism, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj cited the rules on "Adjournment of the House and procedure for reconvening". "Let me enlighten LG saab - Under Rule 17 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Delhi Assembly, Honble Speaker has the power to call a sitting of the House 'at any time after the House has been adjourned sine-die'".

According to official information, Kejriwal is likely to appear before the CBI officials by 11 a.m. on Sunday. His questioning will be held at the CBI headquarters. As of now he hasn't said that he won't appear. It is the first time when Kejriwal will be questioned by the central probe agency. The CBI has filed a charge sheet in the matter and now they are all set to file a supplementary charge sheet.

According to sources, the Assembly will discuss the fact that certain powers are creating an atmosphere against the developmental works being carried out by the AAP-led Delhi government. "In this special session, a committee report on the issue of unanswered questions from MLAs Rajesh Gupta and Atishi, and the Services Department, will be presented on the floor of the House," the sources said.

"We have evidence that Sisodia had e-mails planted. These were received not only in the official e-mail account of the excise department, but even in his personal e-mail account. The content of the e-mails was given by Sisodia which suited his agenda," the ED counsel told the court while opposing Sisodia's bail plea.

"The court gives its decision on the basis of evidence and today it has become clear in front of the country that the investigative agencies, whether the CBI or the ED, all are working well and the AAP's allegations against them are absolutely baseless," the BJP MP added.

MEA Spokesperson A. Arindam Bagchi said, "We strongly condemn the statement issued by OIC Secretariat today regarding India. This is one more example of their communal mindset and anti-India agenda. OIC only does its reputation damage by being consistently manipulated by anti-India forces." The OIC statement had expressed deep concern over the "violence" and "vandalism targeting Muslim community" in several states in India during the Ram Navami processions.

CBI Judge M.K. Nagpal of the Rouse Avenue Court had reserved his order on the matter on March 24. The court had, on March 20, sent him to judicial custody till April 3. During the last hearing, one of Sisodia's counsel had said that nothing exceptional was stated by the CBI which would warrant continued custody.

On expiry on Sisodia's ED custody, which was extended on March 17, he was produced before Special Judge M.K. Nagpal of Rouse Avenue Court. The judge said: "We will send him to judicial custody till April 5." Sisodia is already in judicial custody in the corruption case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
