Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused the CBI of raiding his office in search of a file related to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

"Rajendra (Kumar) is an excuse, Kejriwal is the target," he said, hours after alleging that the Central Bureau of Investigation raided the office of the chief minister. The CBI denied this.

The chief minister said that Jaitley had been involved for a long time with the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA), which he alleged had become a den of corruption.

"They wanted the file of DDCA... Jaitley figures in it. They came looking for that file," he said.
