“I was approached by one of my close friends on behalf of the BJP and told to join BJP otherwise, within the next month, month ED will raid my house and I will be arrested,” she claimed.
“BJP intends to arrest me, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Raghav Chaddha and Durgesh Pathak within the next two months,” Atishi added.
“I was told, there would be an ED raid on my house, and there would be an ED raid on the houses of my family members and relatives. Then summons will be sent to all of us, and after summons, we will be arrested,” she added.
