Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned for nearly nine hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday in the liquor policy case. He was questioned as a witness in the case which investigators said involved corruption in framing the policy to benefit a liquor lobby. He has not been summoned for further questioning by the central agency so far.

“The CBI asked me a total of 56 questions. Everything is fake. The case is fake. I am convinced they don’t have anything on us, not a single piece of evidence,” Kejriwal told reporters after reaching home from the CBI headquarters near central Delhi’s Lodhi Road. Kejriwal’s former deputy Manish Sisodia, who held the excise portfolio, was arrested in the same case last month.

“The CBI asked me everything starting from 2020, the year the liquor policy came into force, to the end of it,” Kejriwal said, adding he will discuss more in the special session of the Delhi assembly called by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government today.
