It is reported that in Delhi Liquor Scam Manish Sisodia tweeted that CBI officials were at his office as the probe continues.

AAP Leade tweetd “Today, the CBI has reached my office yet again. They are welcome,” the AAP leader wrote on Twitter in a post, loosely translated from Hindi.

In his tweet he added, “They had carried out raids at my home and office, searched my bank locker…. even went to go and search my village. They did not find anything against me… and won’t be able to as I have done nothing wrong. I have honestly worked to serve the education sector for the children in Delhi,”.

The investigation in the Delhi excise policy case began last year after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena recommended a CBI probe, citing discrepancies. It has been one of the many matters which intensified the sparring between the BJP and the AAP as the ruling party in Delhi alleged that it was being targeted. Several arrests have been made in the case while Sisodia was named as an accused.

Previously Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal suggested multiple times that probe agencies were carrying out the investigation on the behest of the rival BJP.

He has also said that hundreds of officers were engaged over months but nothing was found in the case. The investigation began months ahead of the crucial elections in Gujarat and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls; and the AAP had linked the investigation to the elections.
