The Hindu
AAP sources confirmed that the CBI had issued an Lookout Circular against Manish Sisodia restricting his movement within national borders
Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government on Sunday as reports of the CBI, which is investigating his alleged role in illegalities revolving around the now-scrapped revamped Excise Policy, issuing a Lookout Circular (LOC) came to light.
AAP sources confirmed that the investigation agency, which conducted a raid that lasted over 15 hours at his official residence on Mathura Road on Friday, had issued an LOC against Mr. Sisodia restricting his movement within national borders.
“After your raids failed, didn’t beget anything, even a discrepancy worth a single Paisa, you have issued a Lookout Notice against me saying that Manish Sisodia is nowhere to be found. What is this gimmick Modi ji? I’m moving about freely in Delhi, tell me where to come? Don’t say I’m nowhere to be found,” Mr. Sisodia tweeted in Hindi reacting to the development.
Earier on Saturday, Mr. Sisodia had alleged that the raid on him was part of a “script” to restrict the AAP and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s political advance across the country after its electoral conquest of Punjab.
The Deputy CM had sought to assert on Saturday that Mr. Kejriwal was the national alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections would be a direct contest between the two.
