Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia cleared of charges in Delhi liquor policy case

A Delhi court on Friday discharged Aam Aadmi Party leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy case filed by the Central Investigation Bureau, Bar and Bench reported.

There was no overarching conspiracy or criminal intent in the excise policy, the Rouse Avenue Courts was quoted as saying.

The court also discharged 21 other persons, including former Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha, Live Law reported.

The court criticised the CBI for implicating Kejriwal and Sisodia without any material, saying that the chargesheet had several gaps not supported by any witnesses or statements, Live Law reported.

The bench said that it will recommend a departmental inquiry against the CBI officials who made a public servant as accused number one in the case, Bar and Bench reported.

Following the ruling, Kejriwal on Friday said that truth had emerged victorious.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah “together planned the biggest political conspiracy to finish” the Aam Aadmi Party, ANI quoted Kejriwal as having alleged.

“The sitting chief minister was dragged out of his house and put in jail”, he told reporters.

Sisodia said that despite “all the attempts by Modi ji’s entire party and all their agencies to prove us dishonest” it has been proven that he and Kejriwal are “staunchly honest”.

Kejriwal, the Delhi chief minister at the time, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March 2024.

In July 2024, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in the case. However, he remained in jail as he had been arrested by the CBI in the same case in June 2024.

He was eventually released from jail in September 2024 after the Supreme Court granted him bail in the case filed by the CBI.

The Central Bureau of Investigation had alleged irregularities in the Delhi government’s liquor excise policy, which has since been scrapped. Based on the CBI case, the Enforcement Directorate also launched an investigation into allegations of money-laundering.

The policy came into effect in November 2021. It was withdrawn in July 2022 with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena recommending an investigation into the alleged irregularities of the policy.

The two central agencies have alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government at the time modified the liquor policy by increasing the commission for wholesalers from 5% to 12%. This allegedly facilitated the receipt of bribes from wholesalers who had a substantial market share and turnover.

The party had denied the allegations.

Sisodia, who was the Delhi deputy chief minister at the time, was arrested in February 2023 by the CBI on charges of corruption in connection with the case. A month later, he was arrested by the ED in the same case.

He was granted bail nearly 17 months later in August 2024.

This is a developing story. It will be updated as new details become available.
