PTIThe CBI found nothing during its search of his locker and gave him a "clean chit", said Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday.
"I am happy that I got a clean chit from the CBI in searches today. They have found nothing (incriminating) from searches of my locker or residence," Sisodia told reporters.
Earlier, a team of CBI officials on Tuesday searched Manish Sisodia's locker in Ghaziabad in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi government's Excise Policy 2021-22.
A team of about four CBI officials reached the branch at Sector 4 Vasundhara in Ghaziabad, on the outskirts of the national capital, to execute the search, reported PTI citing officials.
Sisodia was at the bank with his wife.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader is among the 15 people and entities named in an FIR registered by the agency.
"The CBI is welcome," Sisodia had said in a tweet on Monday.
"Tomorrow, the CBI is coming to check our bank locker. They did not find anything during a 14-hour-long raid at my residence on August 19. They won't find anything in the locker too. The CBI is welcome. My family and I will extend full cooperation in the probe," the deputy chief minister said in his tweet in Hindi.
On August 19, the federal probe agency had raided 31 locations, including Sisodia's residence.
Sisodia has been saying he has been made an accused in a false case to stop the march of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has emerged as an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
During a special session of the Delhi Assembly on Friday, the AAP leader had claimed that the BJP-led Centre is acting like a serial killer to eliminate state governments and described the CBI FIR against him as "fake" and based on "mere sources".
