ACB trying to arrest me, says Kapil Mishra

“I have come to know from reliable sources that the ACB is planning to arrest me at the earliest,” Mishra told journalists. “They want to arrest me as early as possible.”

He said the ACB, which is under the Central government, had summoned him for questioning regarding the scam which took place during the previous Congress regime in Delhi. Congress leader Sheila Dikshit headed the Delhi government for 15 years till December 2013.

“Why is the BJP after us and not Sheila Dikshit?” Mishra asked, adding he was not afraid of going to prison. 

“My fight against corruption will continue even if I am sent to jail,” he said.

Mishra said he had submitted the entire fact-finding report of the water tanker scam with all proofs against Dikshit to the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, but no action against her was being taken.

“ACB is not calling Sheila Dikshit for questioning in the Rs 400 crore water tanker scam, instead they registered an FIR against (Chief Minister Arvind) Kejriwal and summoned me for questioning,” he said, adding: “This shows they want to use this report politically.”
