Kejriwal appeared before the CBI officials at 11:05 a.m. His questioning is being held at its headquarters by a team of senior CBI officials.
This is the first time that Kejriwal is being grilled by the agency.
The CBI has filed a chargesheet in the matter and now they are preparing to file a supplementary chargesheet.
