Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Delhi Ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Kailash Gahlot, and senior AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha among others continued their sit-in at Archbishop Makarios Road near the CBI headquarters in South Delhi.

In a five-minute video message on Twitter ahead of his arrival at the heavily fortified agency headquarters at 11:10 a.m., Mr. Kejriwal claimed that the BJP might have ordered the agency to arrest him.

The AAP leader asserted that he would truthfully and honestly answer questions posed by the CBI in the excise case as he has nothing to hide.
