India: Manish Sisodia's charges 'completely false': Kejriwal

Manish Sisodia

New Delhi, Feb 26 (PTI) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Sunday slammed the BJP-led Centre over his deputy Manish Sisodia's arrest, saying people will respond to it as they are watching how "patriots and honest people" are being jailed while "no action is taken" against those looting the country's banks.

The CBI on Sunday arrested Sisodia in connection with alleged corruption in the now-scrapped excise policy relating to the sale of alcohol, in a move that could plunge the national capital into a governance crisis and further widen the political rift between the AAP and the BJP-led Central government.

Sisodia was arrested after nearly eight hours of questioning as his answers were not satisfactory, officials said.
