The former Deputy CM of Delhi, who is in judicial custody in connection with the alleged Delhi excise policy case, has moved Rouse Avenue Court Thursday for interim bail.
ED had sought 10 days’ custody, argued that AAP chief was 'kingpin' of excise policy. Kejriwal's counsel said nearly 80% witnesses whose statements were recorded had not taken his name.
Bench says ED allegation of Rs 2.2 crore bribe being paid to Sisodia not part of CBI chargesheet, says charge of kickbacks paid by liquor group is 'somewhat a matter of debate'.
The former Delhi deputy chief minister is facing charges of money-laundering and corruption in the framing and implementation of the now-scrapped 2021 liquor policy for the national capital.
The court adjourned the CBI case related to Delhi excise policy till 22 November, directed counsels to inspect documents from 2 to 7 pm on every working day.
Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on 26 February, and then by the ED, for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the 2021-22 excise policy and the subsequent money trail.
Speaking at the inauguration of the School of Excellence at Bawana, Kejriwal said until Sisodia is released, the Delhi government will continue his work with double the speed.
Agency says former deputy CM 'misused powers to introduce favourable provisions in policy'. CA Butchi Babu, Brindco Spirits owner Amandeep Dhal also named in chargesheet.
The issue of the Muslim quota has the potential to polarise SCs, STs, and OBCs along religious lines in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. It benefits the BJP.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
