Kejriwal-Sisodia’s Troubles May Rise: CBI to Challenge Acquittal in High Court; AAP Supremo Emotional Outside Court
New Delhi: February 27, 2026
Twist in Delhi Excise Policy case—CBI to appeal Rouse Avenue Court’s acquittal of CM Arvind Kejriwal and ex-Dy CM Manish Sisodia in Delhi HC. Agency disagrees with ruling no criminal conspiracy proven against AAP leaders.
Court held “conspiracy theory failed fair probe”; such charges can’t stick against constitutional authority. CBI insists ₹100cr kickbacks/”South Lobby” needs full scrutiny—evidence against 23 accused including K Kavitha sufficient.
Post-acquittal, Kejriwal teared up addressing media: “I’m not corrupt—court stamped our honesty.” Slammed PM Modi/Home Min Amit Shah for India’s biggest political conspiracy to jail AAP top brass, destroy party. “Truth won,” he declared.
CBI appeal sets stage for HC showdown, reigniting Delhi politics.
