The official Twitter account of Aam Admi Party On Tuesday morning informed that Delhi CM Arvinf Kejriwal has been kept under house arrest by Delhi police ever since he visited Singhu border and that no one is permitted to enter or leave his residence.

Arvind Kejriwal had visited Delhi-Haryana Singhu border on Monday where thousands of farmers are protesting against the centre government’s new farm bills.

"We support all demands of farmers. Their issue and demands are valid. My party and I have stood with them from the very beginning. At the beginning of their protests, Delhi Police had sought permission to convert nine stadiums into jails. I was pressurised but didn't permit," Kejriwal had said.
