The questioning of Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case will be done as part of “normal process”, a Central Bureau of Investigation official, who wished to remain anonymous, told CNN-News18 on Friday.
AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, while addressing a press conference on Friday, said that a conspiracy has been hatched to arrest Kejriwal.
The probe agency has summoned the chief minister on April 16. There are reports that AAP may organise a protest on the day, apprehending Kejriwal’s arrest. Reacting to this, the CBI official told CNN-News18 that it is not the agency’s concern.
The CBI in February arrested Delhi deputy CM and AAP leader Manish Sisodia after questioning him for over eight hours in the Delhi excise policy case.
In July last year, Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI probe into the allegations that the AAP government’s new excise policy gave undue benefits to private liquor vendors.
The Enforcement Directorate has also questioned the Delhi CM’s personal assistant Bibhav Kumar in connection with the case.
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the press conference, Sanjay Singh stated, “The day Arvind Kejriwal had said in Delhi Assembly that PM’s friend’s black money is the PM’s black money, I told him it’s your number next. They will do everything to cover up PM’s corruption.”
