The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will question Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on April 16 as a witness in a case related to the Delhi excise policy. The case involves allegations that the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 granted licenses to certain liquor traders who had allegedly paid bribes for it. Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, a close friend of Kejriwal, has been arrested in connection with the case. Kejriwal has denied any wrongdoing and accused the BJP of using the CBI to target him and his party. The AAP has alleged that the Centre is misusing probe agencies to harass its leaders. Opposition leaders, including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and JD(U) supremo and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, have expressed solidarity with Kejriwal and renewed calls to speed up opposition unity efforts to take on the BJP.
