New Delhi: Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday said he has been summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning on Monday in an ongoing investigation in the Delhi excise policy case.
Sisodia, in a tweet on Sunday said: “CBI raid was conducted at my house for 14 hours, nothing came out. Searched my bank locker, nothing came out in it. They did not find anything in my village.”
“Now they have called me to CBI Headquarters at 11am tomorrow. I will go and give my full cooperation. Satyameva Jayate,” he added.
मेरे घर पर 14 घंटे CBI रेड कराई, कुछ नहीं निकला. मेरा बैंक लॉकर तलाशा, उसमें कुछ नहीं निकला. मेरे गाँव में इन्हें कुछ नहीं मिला.
अब इन्होंने कल 11 बजे मुझे CBI मुख्यालय बुलाया है. मैं जाऊँगा और पूरा सहयोग करूँगा.
सत्यमेव जयते.
