Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has been summoned by CBI on February 26 in liquor policy case. Earlier, the Aam Aadmi Party leader was asked to appear before the central probe agency on yesterday.

However, the CBI accepted Sisodia's request to defer the interrogation after he sought time to appear before it, citing the ongoing budget exercise of the Delhi government.

“CBI has called me again tomorrow. They have used full force of the CBI and ED. They raided my house, searched my bank lockers but could not find any evidence against me. I have ensured quality education for Delhi's children. They want to stop my efforts. I have always cooperated in probe and will continue to do so”, Sisodia had tweeted on Saturday.

“It's my duty as finance minister to present the budget on time and I have been working 24 hours for it. I have requested the CBI to allow me to come after the last week of February and answer all their questions,” he had told reporters.

The Delhi deputy chief minister was questioned on October 17 last year. His home and bank lockers were also searched by the CBI in connection with the case. Sisodia has not been named as an accused in the charge sheet as the investigation against him and other suspects is still going on.
