After being discharged by the Delhi court in the alleged Delhi excise policy case, an emotional Arvind Kejriwal on Friday asserted that the corruption case against him was the "biggest political conspiracy" in the history of independent India, as a court here discharged him in the politically sensational liquor policy case.

The former Delhi Chief Minister broke down before the media as soon as the orders from the court were released. Kejriwal, while addressing the media, said, "The court has proved that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and AAP are 'Kattar Imaandar'," as per PTI.
Kejriwal also alleged that the "conspiracy" of the excise case was hatched to finish off AAP. It was entirely a fake case with the roles of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah behind its fabrication, the fresh-off-the-hook leader alleged.
