Delhi: CBI raids Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's office

Delhi: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently carrying out raids at the office of Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia in the Delhi Secretariat, the AAP leader has said in a tweet. 

"Today again CBI has reached my office. They are welcome. They raided my house, raided my office, searched my locker, and even searched my village. Nothing has been found against me and nothing will be found because I have not done anything wrong. Sincerely worked for the education of the children of Delhi," tweeted Sisodia in Hindi.

आज फिर CBI मेरे दफ़्तर पहुँची है. उनका स्वागत है.
इन्होंने मेरे घर पर रेड कराई, दफ़्तर में छापा मारा, लॉकर तलशे, मेरे गाँव तक में छानबीन करा ली.मेरे ख़िलाफ़ न कुछ मिला हैं न मिलेगा क्योंकि मैंने कुछ ग़लत किया ही नहीं है. ईमानदारी से दिल्ली के बच्चों की शिक्षा के लिए काम किया है.

The raids come months after the central agency conducted a search operation at Sisodia`s Punjab National Bank locker in connection with Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 money laundering case in August 2022. Sisodia then claimed that the agency had found nothing.
