A white MG Hector electric car, fully charged for Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia’s schedule, stood in the driveway of his official residence at Mathura Road in the capital on Friday. The AAP leader’s plan, after all, had been snipped as a CBI team swooped on the house around 8.30 am over alleged irregularities in the Delhi government’s now-scrapped liquor policy. At least 21 locations in seven states were simultaneously raided.
With searches ongoing, occupants of the building remained confined inside while visual journalists glued to the gates for a glimpse of the deputy CM; the silence broken by a few AAP workers who gathered in front of the two-layer barricade to express their support for Sisodia.
