This comes a day after Crime Branch officials served a notice to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, asking him to reply within three days in a probe into his claims that the BJP attempted to poach seven AAP MLAs. 

What exactly happened? 

On January 27, Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi had claimed that the BJP was trying to poach AAP MLAs by offering ₹ 25 crore each and a ticket to contest next year's assembly poll to topple the AAP government. 

Meanwhile, the BJP had rubbished the allegations, terming them "false" and "baseless", and dared the chief minister to furnish evidence to back his claims.
