Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that the CBI has conducted a raid at his office this morning. According to him, they have sealed his office, without showing him any papers. Taking to Twitter to announce the incident, the Delhi CM alleged that this was done at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that since the Central government was unable to handle him politically, they were resorting to such tactics.

Further details are awaited. The reason behind the raids are not known yet. However, according to media reports, it was his personal secretary Rajendra Kumar office that was raided. CBI has also denied sealing Kejriwal's office. The Home Minister refused to comment on the matter.

Former Chennai Super Kings team-mates Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina will compete against each other for the first time in the Twenty20 Indian Premier League next year. While India's limited-overs captain Dhoni was the first pick for the new Pune franchise, T20 specialist Raina was the first player to be roped in by Rajkot at the 2016 Players' draft held in Mumbai.Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Steven Smith and Faf du Plessis were the other four premier players picked by the Pune franchise, which is owned by New Rising.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on the evening of 15 December, alleged that the CBI raid conducted at his office the same morning, was an attempt by the central government and PM Narendra Modi to scare him and his party. "You may scare others by doing these things, but let me tell you that Kejriwal is not like others," he said.

Kejriwal also alleged that the real reason for the raid and scrutinising the files available in his office was to check the DDCA files. He said that the DDCA files contained information related to 'corruption' in the department when it was headed by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
