Kejriwal is currently imprisoned in Tihar Jail in connection with a corruption case related to the alleged excise policy scam being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Sisodia also reflected on his own 17-month stay in Tihar Jail, alleging that his imprisonment was part of a "conspiracy." He noted that throughout his time in jail, he consistently prayed for the triumph of truth.
Sisodia said he got justice with the blessings of God and because of the Supreme Court and the country’s Constitution. Earlier, after landing in Amritsar, Sisodia lauded the Mann government for its “excellent work” in the state.
