Delhi Excise Policy Case: Happy I got clean chit, says Deputy CM Manish Sisodia after CBI finds 'nothing' in bank locker

New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on Tuesday said that the CBI did not find anything in his bank locker during its searches today. “I am happy that I have got a clean chit,” he said. “Nothing was found in my bank locker today just like nothing was found at my residence during the CBI raid,” Sisodia said. “The CBI officials treated us well, and we also cooperated with them. Truth has won,” the Delhi deputy chief minister told the media. On Tuesday morning, CBI sleuths searched bank locker of Sisodia in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Today’s searches came days after the agency’s team carried out raid at the Delhi Deputy CM’s residence in the national capital amid row over the excise policy case. Sisodia and his wife were present in the bank during the locker searches today. Video shared by news agency ANI showed Sisodia standing at the Ghaziabad branch of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) as officials searched his locker.
