The Delhi Lieutenant Governor had asked the CBI to probe alleged irregularities after the excise policy 2021-22 was withdrawn in August last year.
Holding a press conference a day before appearing at the CBI headquarters, Kejriwal alleged that the CBI and ED were torturing people to take his and Sisodia’s name in the liquor policy 2021-22 case which was scrapped last year in August.
"CBI, ED filed false affidavits in the excise policy case in court, they're torturing people to testify against Manish Sisodia and me," he said in the press conference today.

Kejriwal said that the central agencies presented false evidence in court and tried to mislead the court.
"ED and CBI alleged that Sisodia broke 14 of his mobile phones to destroy evidence, but as per ED's seizure memo, 4 of them are with them while one is with CBI. Rest of the phones are also operational and are being used by different individuals," Kejriwal claimed, adding that the agencies took Rs 100 crore bribe and raided 400 locations but nothing was found.
