Earlier today, the Supreme Court dismissed a petition filed by Manish Sisodia challenging the arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in an alleged case of corruption relating to the now-scrapped excise policy.
The Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader was earlier examined for a day on October 17 last year, nearly a month before the central probe agency had filed its charge sheet against seven people, including middlemen and liquor traders, in which Sisodia was not listed as accused, but the agency had kept the probe into his alleged role open.
Nearly three months after filing its charge sheet, the CBI will question Sisodia on various aspects of the Excise policy, his alleged links with liquor traders, and politicians and claims made by witnesses in their statements.
It is alleged the Delhi government’s policy to grant licences to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the AAP.
