The Central Bureau of Investigation has not issued a Look Out Circular “as of now” against any accused including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the excise policy scam case, officials said Sunday. They said the process of scrutinising documents is going on and notices are being issued to suspects for questioning, they said.
The clarification comes after reports said the probe agency on Sunday issued a lookout circular against Sisodia and 12 others in connection with the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy.
“As of now” no Look Out Circulars (LOC) have been issued against any of the accused in the case, the officials said. The CBI has also not felt the need to issue an LOC against public servants so far because they cannot leave the country without intimating the government, they said.
The deputy CM had responded to the reports of lookout circular by saying that he is “roaming freely” in Delhi and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he is unable to find him.
Hitting out at PM Narendra Modi, Sisodia also shared an old video of the PM attacking the politicisation of the CBI. “Regarding CBI raids, one must listen to what Modi has to say. If you will not listen then you will miss out on a very important truth,” Sisodia wrote in a tweet sharing the video of PM attacking CBI.
CBI छापों के बारे में मोदी जी के इस बयान को ज़रूर सुने. अगर नहीं सुना तो आप एक बहुत बड़े सच को जानने से वंचित रह जाएँगे. https://t.co/6HptTsnVRH— Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) August 21, 2022
In another tweet, he attacked the government in view of the reports of the lookout notice despite the fact that “the CBI raids didn’t found any discrepancies or irregularities.” “All your raids have failed, nothing was found. Misappropriation of even a single penny was not found. Now you have issued a lookout notice stating that Manish Sisodia cannot be found. What is this drama Modi ji? I am roaming freely in Delhi, tell me where I have to come. Are you unable to find me?” Sisodia said in a tweet.
आपकी सारी रेड फैल हो गयी, कुछ नहीं मिला, एक पैसे की हेरा फेरी नहीं मिली, अब आपने लुक आउट नोटिस जारी किया है कि मनीष सिसोदिया मिल नहीं रहा। ये क्या नौटंकी है मोदी जी? मैं खुलेआम दिल्ली में घूम रहा हूँ, बताइए कहाँ आना है? आपको मैं मिल नहीं रहा?— Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) August 21, 2022
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday raided 31 locations including Sisodia’s residence in connection with the irregularities in the Delhi government’s Excise Policy 2021-22.
The central agency has also named two companies in the FIR. The CBI’s Friday raids came after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena last month recommended a probe by the agency into the alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses in the implementation of the policy that came into effect from November 17 last year.
