Excise scam
Excise scam: Manish Sisodia, the leader of the AAP, filed a request for temporary bail to campaign for the election in a local court on Friday. Sisodia was detained by the CBI and ED in relation to the Delhi excise policy scam case.
Later in the day, Kaveri Baweja, the Special Judge for the CBI and ED, is probably going to consider the application for a hearing.
Both the CBI and the ED have claimed that irregularities were made when changing the Delhi excise policy, that license holders received undue favors, that the license fee was waived or decreased, and that licenses were extended without the consent of the appropriate authority.

The investigating authorities have claimed that in order to avoid detection, the beneficiaries reportedly transferred “illegal” income to the accused officials and made fake entries in their books of account.
On February 26, 2023, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) detained the former deputy chief minister on suspicion of his involvement in the “scam”. On March 9, 2023, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained Sisodia in connection with a money-laundering case that resulted from the CBI FIR.
