‘My PA arrested after raids at his home,’ claims Delhi Dy CM Manish Sisodia

New Delhi: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday took to Twitter to claim that his Personal Assistant (PA) has been arrested today.

This came after Enforcement Directorate (ED) team conducting searches at residence of his personal assistant, claimed Sisodia.

इन्होंने झूठी FIR कर मेरे घर रेड करवाई, बैंक लॉकर तलाश लिए, मेरे गाँव में जाँच कर ली लेकिन मेरे ख़िलाफ़ कहीं कुछ नहीं मिला
आज इन्होंने मेरे PA के घर पर ईडी की रेड करी वहाँ भी कुछ नहीं मिला तो अब उसको गिरफ़्तार कर के ले गये है.

भाजपा वालो! चुनाव में हार का इतना डर..

While tweeting information about the same, Sisodia attacked the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and said that as the investigative agencies couldn’t find anything incriminating against him, they took his PA in custody.

It may be noted that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has been facing heat over alleged irregularities & financial impropriety in its revised excise policy for the capital. After the controversy over faulty liquor policy escalated, the state government reversed to old liquor policy.

However, the probe by investigative agencies is underway and the sleuths recently carried out searches at Sisodia’s residence and also inspected his bank lockers.

AAP, though on backfoot over ‘biased’ liquor policy, has chosen to go offensive against the Centre. Drawing Gujarat polls into the controversy, it is claiming that a massive witchunt is underway against AAP govt as the BJP fears defeat in its stronghold Gujarat.
