New Delhi: Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia reached a Ghaziabad bank today for the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) search of his locker in connection with its probe into alleged irregularities in the capital’s now-withdrawn liquor policy. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is searching bank lockers in an alleged corruption case at the PNB branch in Ghaziabad.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party’s MLAs and opposition legislators from the BJP camped the whole night at the Delhi Vidhan Sabha amid an ongoing war of words between the two parties over allegations of corruption.
Sisodia’s home was raided nearly two weeks ago, had said yesterday that “Nothing will be found in his locker. Tomorrow, CBI will raid our bank locker. Nothing was found in the 14-hour raid at my house on August 19. Nothing will be found in the locker either. Welcome to CBI. My family and I will fully cooperate in the investigation,” he tweeted in Hindi yesterday.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has rejected all allegations of irregularities in its policy. Sisodia has said it was implemented with complete transparency and has alleged that the BJP raised the issue to counter AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s political challenge.
“These people are not concerned about the scam. Their worry is Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister of Delhi,” he said following the raids at his home.
BJP’s national president JP Nadda has accused the AAP of trying to divert the subject without responding to the allegations against its government.
