CBI raids Manish Sisodia’s residence, 21 other locations
New Delhi | The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday was raiding 21 locations in Delhi and six other states, including the residence of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
The raids were being conducted in connection with the alleged irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy.
Sources said that a CBI team was at the Sisodia’s residence in the morning and was “grilling him and scanning different documents at his house”.
The probe teams were also raiding the house of former Excise Commissioner E. Gopikrishan, four public servants and others.
The raid was going on in seven states and could go till evening, said the sources.
Sisodia claimed that he was innocent and the CBI was working at the behest of the Centre.
“CBI has come. They are welcome. We are extremely honest. Making the future of millions of children. It is very unfortunate that those who do good work in our country are harassed like this. That is why our country has not yet become number-1,” Manish Sisodia tweeted in Hindi.
सीबीआई आई है. उनका स्वागत है. हम कट्टर ईमानदार हैं . लाखों बच्चों का भविष्य बना रहे हैं.
बहुत ही दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है कि हमारे देश में जो अच्छा काम करता है उसे इसी तरह परेशान किया जाता है. इसीलिए हमारा देश अभी तक नम्बर-1 नहीं बन पाया.

Sisodia went on to say that they will give them full cooperation in the investigation so that the truth can come out soon. He said that till now many cases were filed against him but nothing had come out.
“Nothing will come out of it either. My work cannot be stopped for the good education in the country.
हम सीबीआई का स्वागत करते हैं. जाँच में पूरा सहयोग देंगे ताकि सच जल्द सामने आ सके. अभी तक मुझ पर कई केस किए लेकिन कुछ नहीं निकला. इसमें भी कुछ नहीं निकलेगा. देश में अच्छी शिक्षा के लिए मेरा काम रोका नहीं जा सकता.

“These people are troubled by the excellent work of Delhi’s education and health. That is why the Health Minister and Education Minister of Delhi have been caught so that the good work of education, health can be stopped,” Sisodia said.
ये लोग दिल्ली की शिक्षा और स्वास्थ्य के शानदार काम से परेशान हैं. इसीलिए दिल्ली के स्वास्थ्य मंत्री और शिक्षा मंत्री को पकड़ा है ताकि शिक्षा स्वास्थ्य के अच्छे काम रोके जा सकें.
हम दोनों के ऊपर झूँठे आरोप हैं. कोर्ट में सच सामने आ जाएगा.
