Arvind Kejriwal Summoned In Delhi Liquor Policy Case On Sunday: Sources

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning over alleged corruption in the capital's now-scrapped alcohol sales policy that led to the arrest of his deputy Manish Sisodia in February, sources have told NDTV.

The CBI has asked Mr Kejriwal to appear before the agency on Sunday, sources said.

Alleging the involvement of the "highest levels" of Mr Kejriwal's government in the swindle, the agency has claimed crores in kickbacks were paid for favours in the policy and funnelled into his Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) election campaign in Goa last year.

The AAP has dismissed the charges as "vendetta" and efforts by the BJP, which governs at the centre, to settle political scores.
