Arvind Kejriwal News : Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. Meanwhile, the CBI has made big claims about the leaker policy and Kejriwal's role in it. Now Kejriwal has rejected this claim.
What did Kejriwal say?
Kejriwal told the court that whatever is going on in the media is not true. I have not given any statement that Manish Sisodia is guilty. I said that he is innocent and I am also innocent. Their only aim is to defame us in the media.
two days now…
Kejriwal said that Manish Sisodia is completely innocent. I said yesterday that these are absurd allegations. In two-three days you will see what plans the CBI sources will make in the media. The CBI told the court that a liquor businessman was contacted on March 16, 2021. Chief Minister Kejriwal met him regarding the leak policy. Kejriwal met Magunta Reddy at the Secretariat on March 16. He is an MP and a big name in the South. He met Kejriwal and sought his support regarding the leak policy. On this, Kejriwal assured help but asked the Aam Aadmi Party to provide funds.
Why did the CBI arrest him?
The CBI's reasoning behind arresting Kejriwal was that he was part of the cabinet that approved the liquor policy. The investigating agency has alleged that changes were made in Delhi's Excise Policy 2021-22 as per the wishes of the stakeholders after taking bribes. The profit margin for wholesalers was increased from 5 per cent to 12 per cent.
