Following his acquittal in the CBI case related to the Delhi liquor policy, former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal held a press conference at the party office. The former CM said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah conspired against us. When they couldn’t defeat AAP, they set out to destroy it.” Kejriwal said, “Today a huge burden has been lifted from my heart. Modi and Shah filed so many cases against us. They unleashed the ED, CBI, and police on us. At one time, AAP’s top five leaders were in jail, but you couldn’t do anything. Now, you can only control Kejriwal by orchestrating murders.” The former CM said, “The BJP has used the term ‘liquor scam’ extensively for the past four years. In a time when all institutions and authorities are being threatened, the court has delivered a historic verdict. The judge has truly shown great courage in delivering such significant justice. Many thanks to the judiciary and the judge.” All 23 accused, including Kejriwal and Sisodia, acquitted. Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Friday morning acquitted all 23 accused, including Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, in the CBI case related to the Delhi liquor policy. The court also strongly reprimanded the CBI. The court said that the investigating agency’s charge sheet contains several flaws that have nothing to do with any witness or statement. Special Judge Jitendra Singh said that Kejriwal has been implicated without any concrete evidence. While acquitting Sisodia and other accused, the court said that the CBI had failed to prove the charges. The thousands of pages of the charge sheet contain material that does not support any witness’ statement. The judge said that the charge sheet contains misleading statements.
