ED has not registered case against Manish Sisodia in excise policy row, clarifies top agency official

Share On

Enforcement Directorate's top official on Tuesday denied that the agency has filed a money laundering case against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia after an Additional Director in the probe agency had said that a case had been filed over the Delhi Excise Policy which is being probed by CBI.

The clarification came soon after Additional Director Enforcement Directorate Sonia Narang confirmed to ANI on record that a money laundering case had been filed against Manish Sisodia.

The CBI had filed a case against over alleged corruption in the 2021-22 excise policy. The excise policy was subsequently withdrawn by the AAP government. CBI had last week carried out searches at Sisodia's official residence and carried out raids at several other places in connection with the alleged corruption in the implementation of Delhi's Excise Policy.
