The CBI arrested Manish Sisodia a day ago in connection with alleged irregularities in a liquor policy, the most high-profile arrest in the case so far.
Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal on Monday said that he has learnt "most CBI officers" were against arresting his deputy Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy probe, and were forced to do so, without evidence, because of "political pressure". I am told that most CBI officers were against Manish's arrest. All of them have huge respect for him and there is no evidence against him. But the political pressure to arrest him was so high that they had to obey their political masters
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Mr Sisodia late on Sunday in connection with alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped liquor policy, the most high-profile arrest in the case so far.
He was arrested in an ongoing investigation in "a case related to alleged irregularities in framing & implementation of the excise policy", the CBI said in a statement.
