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.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at more than 25 sites earlier this week in connection with the case involving Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, and others.
The locations of businesspeople who deal with alcohol were searched.
Earlier on October 7, the ED raided more than 35 places in a few states, including Punjab, Delhi, and Andhra Pradesh, and they took one crore rupees from a businessman's home in the nation's capital. Without revealing the locations of all the recoveries, they said that several digital devices and papers were also confiscated.
In this instance, the federal government has carried out several searches. Last month, Sameer Mahandru, a businessman in the alcohol industry and the managing director of the liquor-manufacturing firm Indospirit, was also taken into custody.
The money laundering case is the result of a CBI FIR in which Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, was among the accused.
After Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena suggested a CBI investigation into the suspected flaws in the execution of Delhi's Excise Policy 2021–2022, the plan came under scrutiny.
In the case, he had also suspended 11 excise officers.
While the CBI questioned a number of persons and detained businessman Vijay Nair, the ED questioned AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak and minister Satyendar Jain, who is being held in Tihar Jail.
According to officials, the Delhi Chief Secretary's report, which was submitted in July, found that there had been apparent violations of the Delhi Excise Act of 2009 and the Delhi Excise Rules of 2010, as well as the Transaction of Business Rules (ToBR) of 1993 and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) Act of 1991.
