CBI must arrest me within 4 days if ‘sting’ shared by BJP has any truth: Sisodia

If the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) does not arrest him within four days, it will be accepted that the purported sting video is “yet another lie” and part of the conspiracy “hatched at the offices of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi”

New Delhi,:  Delhi minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday asked the BJP to share the purported sting featuring an accused in the excise policy case with the CBI and dared the probe agency to arrest him if the allegations are true.

He said if the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) does not arrest him within four days, it will be accepted that the purported sting video is “yet another lie” and part of the conspiracy “hatched at the offices of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi” to topple the Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi.

The deputy chief minister also demanded that the prime minister extend an apology accepting that it was wrong for his office to indulge in hatching such conspiracies if the CBI fails to arrest him till Monday based on the allegations made in the “so-called sting”.

The commission was raised from 2 per cent to 12 per cent, Sirsa alleged, adding that the CM turned black money into white using his power.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal retweeted Manish Sisodia’s tweet and added: “Waah, Manish! Only an honest and courageous person can give such a challenge. I am sure the BJP will accept your challenge. The whole country is proud of your work and your honesty. They are scared of your work on education and want to stop it. You keep doing your job.”

Addressing a press conference earlier, Dr Sudhanshu Trivedi, a member of Rajya Sabha and BJP national spokesperson, said, “There is a sting operation video circulating on social media… which intensely reveals such dangerous and toxic things that after watching it there remains no scope for defence.”

“In this sting operation, accused number 9, Amit Arora, is telling someone in detail how money was taken from different companies. The money was taken in advance. It not only talks about the exchange of money; it also reveals how the policy was formulated in a way that the money remains in the hands of a select few, and the flow of cash also remains in their hands… He is also saying how money was taken and distributed among the remaining people.

In addition to this, it is also showing how the money made from liquor scam was used in Goa and Punjab (Assembly) elections,” Trivedi alleged.
