Sunita Kejriwal said she Arvind Kejriwal at the ED office on Tuesday.

In her press briefing, Sunita Kejriwal said: “Despite two years of prove and more than 250 raids, the ED has not been able to find even one paisa in evidence. They are searching for the money of this so-called scam. They have found nothing yet… They raided chief minister’s residence but got just Rs 73,000,” Sunita Kejriwal said.

“My husband issued directions to (Delhi) Water Minister Atishi while in custody. The Centre had issues with it. Do they want to ruin Delhi?” Sunita Kejriwal asked, adding that Arvind Kejriwal was very sad over the issue.

The Delhi excise policy case came to fore from a report submitted by Delhi chief secretary Naresh Kumar to Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena in July 2022, pointing to alleged procedural lapses in the formulation of the policy.

The report mentioned that “arbitrary and unilateral decisions” taken by Manish Sisodia in his capacity as Excise Minister had resulted in “financial losses to the exchequer” estimated at more than Rs 580 crore. The report was referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Sisodia was arrest.
