Kejriwal is likely to be asked about Vijay Nair, businessman Sameer Mahendru and how the excise policy got leaked before it was to be implemented.

The Delhi Police has already imposed section 144 in an area around the CBI headquarters to avoid clashes with AAP supporters. There will be only one gate for media entry.
