Why CBI Summoned Kejriwal?
As per updates, the name of Delhi CM as a criminal has not been mentioned in any FIR and Chargesheet. However, the remand note with CBI and ED has his name mentioned.
CBI earlier confronted Secretary C Arvind and Excise Commissioner A Gopi Krishna who were in Manish Sisodia’s Excise Department. This happened when Sisodia was on CBI remand. Arvind’s statement was earlier recorded under Section 164 CrPC before a magistrate, in which he revealed that Manish Sisodia was giving direct instructions regarding the excise policy.
C Arvind, in his statements, revealed before ED and CBI that in March 2021, an order was taken at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence to fix the profit margin of liquor traders at 12%. It was an oral order that was asked to be included in the draft policy. This order was taken in the presence of Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.
