Arvind Kejriwal may get into another new trouble

Arvind Kejriwal, who is in the custody of ED in Delhi's liquor scam, may get into new trouble. In case of issuing a written order from custody, new gas may fall on them. Legally, he cannot issue any official order as Chief Minister while in custody, but two such letters have come to light so far, which are said to be signed by Arvind Kejriwal. If it is proved that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had signed the said order while in the custody of ED, then a new case can be registered against him in this matter.
