AAP will be made an accused in this case. We have direct evidence that Kejriwal stayed in seven star hotel and bill ran into lakhs," he said as per legal site Bar and Bench.
The ASG further said that there is material for Rs 100 crore bribe but there is no need to have material also showing that perhaps bribe was not given or to show material which favours their version.
