NEW DELHI: Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia who has been summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)said on Sunday that he has requested a probe agency to shift the date.
The CBI has called Sisodia for questioning in connection with the Delhi excise policy case nearly three months after filing the charge sheet in the case.
“I will visit the CBI office by the end of February, whenever they (CBI) will call me. Being the finance minister of Delhi, preparing the budget is very important, so I have requested to shift the date,” reported ANI quoting Sisodia.
He also said that he has always cooperated with these agencies.
On Saturday, apparently referring to the centre, Sisodia said that the CBI has been made to go after him because ‘they’ want to stop him from doing ‘good work’ on the education of the children in Delhi.
Recently, the CBI arrested Butchibabu Gorantla, a former Chartered Accountant of K Kavitha, a BRS MLC in Telangana and a daughter of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
The CBI had also questioned Kavitha in connection with the case in December last year.
During its probe, the CBI had found evidence that Babu acted on behalf of the South Lobby comprising the Telangana MLC, YSRCP MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, and Aurobindo Pharma’s P Sarat Chandra Reddy.
Sisodia has not been named as accused in the charge sheet as the investigation against him and other suspects is still going on.
