“As of now” no Look Out Circulars (LOC) have been issued against any of the accused in the case, say CBI officials
The Central Bureau of Investigation has not issued a Look Out Circular “as of now” against any accused including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the excise policy scam case, officials said August 21.
They said the process of scrutinising documents is going on and notices are being issued to suspects for questioning, they said.
This comes after Mr. Sisodia claimed a lookout notice against him in the excise policy case being probed by the CBI and termed the move a “drama” as the agency found “nothing” during a raid at his residence on Friday.
“As of now” no Look Out Circulars (LOC) have been issued against any of the accused in the case, the officials said.
The CBI has also not felt the need to issue an LOC against public servants so far because they cannot leave the country without intimating the government, they said.
Mr. Sisodia is among 15 individuals and entities named in an FIR registered by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi government’s Excise Policy 2021-22.
The agency on Friday carried out searches at 31 places including Mr. Sisodia’s residence and premises of some bureaucrats and businessmen.
