On February 27, 2026, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) faced sharp criticism from Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court, which discharged 23 accused in the Delhi liquor policy case. The court cleared former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, stating that the agency’s chargesheet lacked concrete evidence. The judge described parts of the investigation as “economically illiterate,” observing that the prosecution relied on assumptions rather than provable facts. The court highlighted major gaps, inconsistencies, and weak financial reasoning in the CBI’s case, ultimately ruling that no prima facie case was made out against the accused.
