Kejriwal questioned for 9 hours at CBI HQ

New Delhi, April 16: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned for nearly nine hours by the CBI on Sunday as a witness in the excise policy case, amid protests by his party as the AAP chief claimed that the allegations of scam were false and the agency was acting at the BJP’s behest.
“I was asked around 56 questions. I answered them all…as I said earlier we have nothing to hide. The alleged liquor scam is false, fabricated and motivated by dirty politics… We will die but not give up honesty,” Kejriwal told reporters after leaving the CBI headquarters at around 8.30 pm.
“The Chief Minister of Delhi was issued a notice under section 160 CrPC for his examination in this case on April 16, 2023 and answering various questions related to the case. He joined the investigation today and his statement has been recorded under section 161 CrPC,” CBI said in a statement. (PTI)
