Aam Aadmi Party Minister Atishi on Tuesday slammed the Enforcement Directorate for allegedly threatening witnesses to speak against AAP leaders so that cases can be lodged against them.
"ED coercing, threatening people to give false statements against AAP leaders in excise policy case," said Atishi. "ED raids on AAP leaders are being carried out to silence party."
Atishi alleged that the ED "deleted" audio recordings of witness statements and challenged the agency to make them public.
The statements came less than a day after the AAP minister said she will expose the central agency on Tuesday at 10am. Following this ED carried out raids on the premises of AAP Rajya Sabha MP N.D. Gupta, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's Personal Secretary Bibhav Kumar, former Delhi Jal Board member Shalabh Kumar and others connected to the party.
