CBI summons Sisodia to join investigation in excise policy scam

NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summoned Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to join the investigation in the excise policy scam case.

Delhi Deputy CM and AAP leader Manish Sisodia tweeted today that he has been summoned by the CBI to their headquarters on Sunday in connection with the Delhi liquor scam. 

Sisodia will have to join the investigation by 11 a.m. at the CBI headquarters in the national capital. In response to the matter, Sisodia said in a tweet that the CBI wants to stop the ongoing development in Delhi.

"CBI has called me again on Sunday. They have put the full strength of CBI and Enforcement Directorate against me. They raided my home, and searched my bank locker but didn't find anything. I have made arrangements of best education system in Delhi, they want to stop it. But I have always supported in their investigation and will do," he said. On February 8, the CBI had detained Butchibabu Gorantla, the former CA of BRS leader K. Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. The agency has already filed a charge sheet in the matter.

The CBI had registered an FIR in a special court in August 2022 against Sisodia and 14 others under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 477A (falsification of records), and section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, which deals with taking undue advantage to influence a public servant by corrupt or illegal means or by the exercise of personal influence.
