AAP's Delhi unit chief, Saurabh Bharadwaj, has leveled serious accusations against the Enforcement Directorate (ED), alleging attempts to alter his official statements during an extensive probe. Bharadwaj has accused the agency of coercion while questioning him about a suspected scam in health infrastructure projects.
In a press interaction, Bharadwaj claimed that officers tried to impose a pre-written narrative, ignoring his original testimony, in a bid to frame him. The case stems from a multi-locale investigation into alleged malpractices during AAP's governance in Delhi.
Further, Bharadwaj attributed the actions to a conspiracy orchestrated by Lt Governor VK Saxena and urged for a forensic investigation of ED equipment involved. His assertion follows a nearly 18-hour raid on his premises, conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
