New Delhi, Aug 20: The CBI has summoned for questioning on Saturday five suspects in the corruption case involving the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy.
The agency is looking into the papers collected during searches of 31 locations, including Manish Sisodia’s home in Delhi, according to officials on August 20.
They claimed that summonses would be given to other suspects once the process of looking through the papers, electronic devices, and financial transactions is finished.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), a financial investigation agency, has also been given access to the CBI FIR, which was filed before a special court on August 17. The ED will investigate the claims of money laundering.
On August 19, the agency conducted searches at 31 locations, including locations connected to Mr. Sisodia as well as those of certain officials and businesspeople.
Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, claimed the agency had been “requested from above” to harass the party’s leaders. The AAP denounced the raids. The Delhi government was urged by the BJP to be transparent about its excise policies.
