How Kejriwal and Sisodia were acquitted in the Delhi liquor case after four years

The Rouse Avenue Court has acquitted 23 accused, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, in the alleged Delhi liquor scam case. While delivering the verdict, Judge Jitendra Singh found the evidence presented by the CBI inadmissible. The judge said, "Whatever evidence you have presented is based only on statements. You (the CBI) have no concrete evidence in this case." We kept waiting, but the CBI failed to produce concrete evidence in this case.

A 1,000-page charge sheet was filed in the Delhi liquor case. 300 witnesses were presented. The accused were presented as government witnesses. Despite this, the court acquitted 23 accused, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.
