However, Sisodia has been made the prime accused in the case. It is reported that the Chief Secretary alleged irregularities in the new liquor policy. On the basis of his report, Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena advised a CBI probe.
The First Information Report (FIR) filed by the CBI revealed that a liquor trader paid Rs 1 crore to a company that is managed by Manish Sisodia’s associate.
