The CBI in a recently filed chargesheet in the case claimed that Amit Arora, with two other accused, Dinesh Arora and Arjun Pandey, are “close associates” of Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and were “actively involved in managing and diverting the undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licensees” for the accused public servants.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday filed its first charge sheet in the Delhi excise policy case against seven accused. But Sisodia, who was named in the agency's FIR, did not figure in the charge sheet.
