Manish Sisodia and others face corruption allegations in bringing a new liquor sale policy in the national capital. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena had ordered the CBI probe last year.
Manish Sisodia has alleged that the “full power” of agencies under the BJP-led central government had been unleashed to hound him. “They have unleashed the full power of CBI, ED (Enforcement Directorate) against me, raided my house, searched my bank locker, and yet found nothing against me,” the Deputy Chief Minister tweeted in Hindi.
“I have arranged good education for the children of Delhi. They want to stop it. I have always cooperated with the investigation and will continue to do so,” he added.
Manish Sisodia is likely to leave his official residence at central Delhi’s Mathura Road at 10.30 am and reach the CBI headquarters at south Delhi’s Lodhi Road half-an-hour later.
