Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “accepted that the excise policy case is false” as not even a penny of the “₹100-crore scam” has been recovered so far. “Yesterday, the Prime Minister was asked in an interview to respond to my statement that no evidence had been found in the case. He said no money had been recovered because ‘Kejriwal is an experienced thief’,” the CM said in a video message. When you have accepted that excise case is wrong, please release those who have been arrested,” he added. Mr. Singh was granted bail on April 4, the CM was given interim bail on May 10, while Mr. Sisodia, whom the High Court denied bail on May 21, remains in Tihar Jail.
