Locations being raided by ED also include the residence of Indospirit managing director Sameer Mahendru in the Jor Bagh area of south Delhi. Mahendru was earlier grilled by CBI in connection with the liquor policy scam.

Talking to the media, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said: “First the CBI conducted raids, they found nothing. Now, the ED is conducting raids, they too won’t find anything.”

He added that they (ED officials) will “only find more blueprints of schools.”

For the unversed, Sisodia has been named as an accused in the CBI’s FIR in the alleged liquor scam case. He said that the raids are part of an attempt to “stop the good work being done by” chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Meanwhile, the Central Bureau Of Investigation(CBI) yesterday denied claims of giving a clean chit to any of the accused in the Delhi Excise Policy case.

According to the agency, “The Excise policy case is under probe. As such no clean chit has been given to any of the accused. The mischievous AND misleading statement of Manish Sisodia is an attempt to divert attention from the ongoing probe in the case.”

CBI also hit out at Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and called his statements on the death of the officer named Late Jitendra Kumar ‘mischievous and misleading.

“CBI strongly refutes mischievous and misleading statement by Manish Sisodia. It is clarified that the gentleman officer Late Jitendra Kumar was in no way connected with the investigation of the case,” said the agency.

‘Delhi Police, which is conducting an inquiry into the death has said the officer has not held anyone responsible for his death in his suicide note,” the agency added.
