1st LD Writethru: India's premier probe agency raids Delhi chief minister's office

Xinhua, December 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

India's premier probe agency Tuesday raided Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's office and reportedly sealed it.

"CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) raids my office. When (Narendra) Modi couldn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice," Kejriwal tweeted.

Hitting out at the Indian prime minister, the Delhi chief minister added: "Modi is a coward and a psycopath."

The Central Bureau of Investigation's sealing of the chief minister's office left Kejriwal and other ministers stranded outside the Delhi Secretariat, the headquarters of the state government.

The ruling anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party's government and the central government have in fact been locked in a bitter battle since Kejriwal swept to power in February this year. Endit
