During Kejriwal's appearance in Rouse Avenue Court on June 26, CBI lawyer DP Singh told the court that there are statements of many witnesses that a person meets Kejriwal regarding the Delhi Excise Policy. This happened even before the policy was made. DP Singh referred to the statements of Magunta Reddy.
