Kejriwal has been allotted Jail No. 2 in Tihar, where Sanjay Singh was earlier lodged following his arrest on October 4, 2023 after Dinesh Arora, the ED's star witness, named the Delhi MP in his statement. The other two AAP leaders currently in Tihar are former Delhi Ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.
