There is a talk in the political circles that the Telugu states and the Delhi Government are involved in a huge liquor scam. The CBI is already probing into the issue.
Some YSRC and some TRS leaders are involved in the liquor scam along with the Delhi Minister Manish Sisodia it is being rumoured.
The raids and questioning are going on in the Telugu states. The CBI so far has not named anyone from the Telugu states in this regard.
Manish Sisodia and other accused have been booked for “criminal conspiracy, falsification of account and undue advantage”, punishable under Section 120-B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) and 477A (falsification of accounts) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 7 (taking undue advantage to influence public servant by corrupt or illegal means or by the exercise of personal influence) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 (amended in 2018).
The central probe agency since Friday, August 19, morning carried out searches at 21 locations in Delhi-NCR, including at the premises of the deputy chief minister Sisodia and IAS officer Arava Gopi Krishna, after registering an FIR in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, officials said.
The CBI registered the FIR in connection with the alleged irregularities in the formulation and execution of the Delhi Excise Policy brought in November last year, they said.
During the search operation, the CBI teams reached 21 locations, including the premises of four public servants including Sisodia and former excise commissioner Krishna, a 2012-batch IAS officer from the AGMUT cadre, they said.
