CBI raids at Manish Sisodia's office in Delhi Secretariat

New Delhi: CBI raids are underway at the office of Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia in Delhi Secretariat in the alleged excise policy scam case.

Enforcement Directorate raided Sisodia's house in September last year. In October, the CBI questioned Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi excise scam case for over nine hours.

Next month in November, CBI filed its first charge sheet against seven accused, in which Sisodia's name did not figure. The central investigative agency had then said that the probe was still open.

Sisodia tweeted about the CBI raids and claimed that nothing will be found in the raids.

He said that in past also they did not find anything in raids on his house and village.

आज फिर CBI मेरे दफ़्तर पहुँची है. उनका स्वागत है.

इन्होंने मेरे घर पर रेड कराई, दफ़्तर में छापा मारा, लॉकर तलशे, मेरे गाँव तक में छानबीन करा ली.मेरे ख़िलाफ़ न कुछ मिला हैं न मिलेगा क्योंकि मैंने कुछ ग़लत किया ही नहीं है. ईमानदारी से दिल्ली के बच्चों की शिक्षा के लिए काम किया है.

On the other hand, BJP's national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said that Sisodia is playing victim-hood.

If we got ₹1 for every misleading, hyperbolic, over reaction, victim-hood claim of Manish Sisodia & AAP - we would have become millionaires by now! 



Remember that claim of audio tape? Where is it???? 



Remember the bizarre claim by Kejriwal that Manish was arrested?
