Excise policy case: CBI has summoned Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

In connection with the excise policy scam case, the CBI has summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on April 16, officials said on Friday. Kejriwal has been asked to be present at the agency headquarters at 11 AM to answer queries of the investigating team, they said.

The central probe agency has already arrested former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the case. It is alleged that the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 to grant licences to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it. The policy was later scrapped.
