Why Is CBI Investigating Manish Sisodia? An Explainer

The allegations are linked to the Excise Policy that was recently withdrawn by the AAP government amid a huge controversy.

The CBI arrived at Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's home this morning for searches linked to allegations of irregularities in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's new liquor policy.

The agency, which has filed an FIR on the liquor policy, raided more than 20 locations in and near Delhi.

"CBI is here at my residence. I will cooperate with the probe agency, they will not find anything against me," Manish Sisodia tweeted.

The CBI also carried out searches on former Excise Commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna, an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer.
