The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered an FIR against former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia and CA Butchi Babu Gorantla of Hyderabad in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy alleged scam in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court. Chargesheet was filed in Rouse Avenue Court.
The CBI has filed this charge sheet under sections 120B, 201 and 420 of the IPC and sections 7, 7A, 8 and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Along with this, the names of Arjun Pandey and Amandeep Singh Dhall are also there. This is the second charge sheet filed by the CBI in this case. Sisodia’s name was not included in the charge sheet filed earlier. This is the first time that the CBI has included Manish Sisodia’s name in its charge sheet.
Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has fixed May 12 for arguments on the points of cognizance of the charge sheet. Earlier, opposing the bail plea of Sisodia in the Delhi Liquor Policy scam case on April 20, the CBI had told the Delhi High Court that he was involved in a serious economic offense and was instrumental in unearthing its modus operandi. The CBI further informed the court that out of the 4 persons named as accused in the chargesheet, Manish Sisodia and Amandeep Dhall are in judicial custody. Whereas, in this case K. Buchi Babu, a close aide of Kavita, was granted bail on March 6, 2023. Along with this, another accused Arjun Pandey has not been arrested till date.
