UDA Deputy Presidential Candidate Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday revealed details of how he was roughed up during an arrest.
Gachagua said he was a victim of a political witchhunt when he was arrested for graft allegations.
He made the revelations after he was questioned about Sh200 million in his bank account alleged to be proceeds of crime.
It is then that he revealed that a dramatic arrest was mounted him which ended up embarrassing him before his wife and workers.

"Even after sending 200 police to arrest me in Nyeri and drag me in front of wife and workers took me to Nairobi, lock me for 4 days, one and a half years later, not a shred of evidence that is why the case has not taken off," he said.
Gachagua was speaking during the Deputy presidential debate at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA).
He revealed that his corruption case was a product of trumped-up charges fuelled by his refusal to abandon Deputy President William Ruto.
He said he was approached by someone sent by Uhuru to stop backing Ruto or face the consequence.
