After this incident, many politicians and other leaders came out in support of Manish Sisodia and termed this raid as baseless and a part of political vendetta.

Let’s understand why Manish Sisodia is under the radar of the Central Bureau of Investigation

1. The government decided to waive off money amounting to Rs. 144.36 crores which was associated with the liquor lobby that had applied for license-free tender.

2. After this, it was investigated how the policy was broken down to justify the decision of doing so.

3. Also, the government instead of seizing Rs. 30 crores from licenses at the airport, returned it to them and after some time the imported beer prices were also cut down.

4. No action was taken on the L7Z licensed liquor vendors for default on fees of the license.

5. At last, the vendors who violated the excise policy in Delhi were not given any punishment nor any strict action taken against them.

An excise policy was brought by the Delhi Government last year in April to provide benefits to the liquor traders. After which certain allegations were raised by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi that this thing can only be made possible if Manish Sisodia is bribed.
