Manish Sisodia was asked about this draft document, but he refused to share details, the CBI sources said.
A digital device seized from Delhi excise department led the CBI to unearth the alleged role of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy case, sources from the agency have said.
Mr Sisodia was arrested by the CBI last night following an eight-hour questioning session. He is to be presented in the court this afternoon. The senior AAP leader faces corruption allegations in bringing a now-scrapped liquor sale policy in the national capital. The party has denied the charges, alleging political vendetta by the BJP-led central government.
According to sources in the central agency, a digital device was seized during a search at the excise department on August 19. While examining it, the agency traced one of the excise policy draft documents to a system that wasn't part of the excise department network, the sources said.
When they questioned an excise department official in this connection, they got a lead to the computer in Mr Sisodia's office, the sources said, adding that they seized the system from the Deputy Chief Minister's office on January 14.
