The CBI will question Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday on crucial points related to its probe in the excise policy scam in which his former deputy Manish Sisodia was arrested by the agency on February 26, officials said.
They said the agency may ask the chief minister about the policy formulation process especially of the “untraceable” file which was earlier slated to be put before the Council of Ministers, they said.
The file containing opinion of expert committee and public and legal opinions on it was not kept before the council and remains untraceable, they said. The agency may also quiz Kejriwal on the statements of other accused where they have indicated the manner in which policy was allegedly influenced to favour some liquor businessmen and the South liquor lobby, they said. In addition, the agency may also seek his role in the formulation of the excise policy and his knowledge about alleged influence being cast by the traders and South lobby members, the officials said. Kejriwal may also be asked if he was involved in the formulation of the policy before it was given approval, they said. Agency sources said there may be other topics on which his replies could be sought.
