Excise ‘scam’: Manish Sisodia says ‘fake’ case lodged against him, ahead of CBI questioning

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has termed the case against him in the excise policy matter as ‘fake’ and has linked the move with the campaigning in Gujarat which is poll-bound. With the CBI set to question Sisodia, Aam Aadmi Party Convener Arvind Kejriwal said that the minister was going to be arrested in a bid to stop him from campaigning in Gujarat.

Sisodia is all set to join the investigation at the CBI headquarters by 11 am with alleged irregularities in the implementation of the now-scrapped Excise Policy 2021-22. . At his Mathura Road residence, Sisodia sought the blessings of his mother as he prepared to leave for the CBI office. Several AAP leaders, including party MP Sanjay Singh and MLAs Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj, were present at his home.

The Delhi deputy chief minister, who also holds the excise portfolio in the Kejriwal government, is one of the main accused in the FIR registered in the matter by the CBI.

Kejriwal also termed the case against his deputy as “fake”.

“Nothing was found in the raid at the residence of Manish and his bank locker. The case against him is totally fake. He had to go to Gujarat for campaigning that’s why he is being arrested but the campaigning will not stop. Every person in Gujarat is campaigning for the AAP in Gujarat,” Kejriwal tweeted.

“A completely fake case has been prepared against me. Nothing was found in the raid at my residence, search of my bank lockers and enquiries made at my village. It is a totally fake case,” Sisodia tweeted.
