A Delhi trial court on 27 Feb 2026 discharged Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and 21 others in the CBI’s excise (liquor)-policy case, saying evidence didn’t establish a criminal conspiracy. After the verdict, Kejriwal alleged the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate were “weaponised” against him for political ends, demanding that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah apologise to the nation. The agencies said they will appeal the order in Delhi High Court, intensifying political and legal battle over the high-profile corruption probe.
