AAP gets agitated over Kejriwal taken in police custody

New Delhi, May 21 (ANI): AAP leaders on Wednesday reacted agitatedly over AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal taken into police custody in a defamation case filed by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari. Manish Sisodia said that Kejriwal has not done any crime by not filling a bail bond, thus targeting the 'good days' of governance under next PM Narendra Modi. Prashant Bhushan gave an insight into the matter saying that a bail bond was not filled even in the previous cases against Kejriwal so it was not even compulsory in this one. Also Sanjay Singh said that Kejriwal has not filled a bail bond in previous cases also and added that this case will be carried in higher courts. Meanwhile, Ashutosh stated that Kejriwal had only raised voice against corruption which is 'sarcastically' wrong according to law. He added that according to law if one does not want bail will be jailed and AAP is ready for that. May 21, 2014
