Kejriwal added,
1. I fully understand that there will be many difficulties. Still going to try to work from here (prison).
2. My health is in a very good shape. I never thought that the ED would come home to arrest me so soon after the order of the Delhi High Court.
3. No inquiry has been conducted yet. There is no guarantee that interrogation will take place even while in custody, because ED does not want to investigate. What ED wants to do, it can do.
