Excise policy scam: CBI arrests Delhi Dy CM Manish Sisodia

[ad_1]
AAP senior politician and Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has been arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after nine hours of questioning in connection with the excise policy scam case on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, Sisodia had said that he was ready to go to jail for 7-8 months.
“I have the love of lakhs of children and crores of countrymen with me. Even if I have to go to jail for a few months, I do not care. We are followers of Bhagat Singh. Bhagat Singh died for the country. If I have to go to jail over such false allegations, it is a small thing,” he said before leaving to the CBI office.
As per sources, he was asked about kickbacks that were allegedly received to campaign in the Goa elections.
He was also confronted with the statement of accused Dinesh Arora who has now turned approver.
Sisodia was also asked about Hyderabad-based chartered accountant Butchibabu Gorantla, Telangana MLC and BRS leader K Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR). Gorantla was arrested by the CBI earlier this month.
The CBI has filed a charge sheet in the matter and will also file the first supplementary charge sheet soon.
It is alleged that the Delhi government’s policy to grant licenses to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the AAP.

Lending support, AAP chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that his deputy need not worry about his family as the party will look after them.
“God is with you Manish. The blessings of lakhs of children and their parents are with you. When you go to jail for the country and the society, it is not a curse but a matter of pride. I pray to god that you return from jail soon. Delhi’s children, their parents and all of us will wait for you,” Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi.

Teachers’ recruitment scam: CBI arrests third middleman

[ad_1]
Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the multi-crore teachers’ recruitment irregularities scam in West Bengal arrested another middleman — Chandan Mondal aka Ranjan — in connection with the scam on Friday.
Mondal is the third middleman who has been arrested by the CBI after it started probing the matter in 2022, the other two being Prasanna Kumar Roy and Pradeep Singh.
Roy is the husband of the niece of former West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee, who is currently in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the scam.
Sources said Mondal came to CBI’s Nizam Palace office in Kolkata on Friday after being summoned by the agency for questioning.
After hours of questioning, sources said, the CBI officials decided to take him into custody after he refused to cooperate in revealing information.
He was presented at a special CBI court in Kolkata on Friday afternoon, which remanded him to four-day CBI custody.
Mondal’s name surfaced for the first time when ex-state minister Upen Biswas, who is also a former joint director of the CBI, revealed his name through a video message posted on social media.
In his message, Biswas said that Mondal was responsible for offering several teaching and non-teaching jobs in state-run schools against payment of money.

Since then, Mondal was questioned by the CBI from time to time, but he was not taken into custody.
Meanwhile, after receiving the information of Mondal’s arrest, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of the Calcutta High Court, whose order prompted the CBI to launch its probe into the teachers’ recruitment scam, described it as a “very late step” by the CBI.
“What will happen with his arrest now? Nothing will happen. The investigation has been going on for the last seven to eight months. What result will his arrest now yield,” Justice Gangopadhyay asked.
