Kejriwal and Mann Meet Deepak Singla in Ambala Jail
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, visited Ambala on Wednesday to meet party leader Deepak Singla, who is currently lodged in the Central Jail. Singla was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged bank fraud and money laundering case.
Before proceeding to the jail, the AAP leaders held a meeting at the PWD Rest House. They later reached the Central Jail, where they spent nearly half an hour meeting Singla. Security arrangements were tightened around the jail premises, with additional police personnel deployed during the visit. The leaders did not interact with the media during their visit.
Party Leaders Interact with Local Workers
AAP district president Rajnish Sharma said the party leaders had come to meet Singla and briefly interacted with local party workers at the rest house. The visit underscores the party's support for its leader amid ongoing legal proceedings.
The Enforcement Directorate's case against Singla involves allegations of financial irregularities, and the party has maintained that the charges are politically motivated. The meeting comes at a time when AAP is facing increased scrutiny from central agencies.
