Delhi L-G seeks CBI probe into Kejriwal govt's liquor policy

The Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena ordered a probe into the controversial Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 of the Arvind Kejriwal government based on a report from Delhi Chief Secretary in accordance with Rule 57 of the ToBR 1993, which mandates the Chief Secretary to flag any deviation from laid down procedures to the Lt. Governor and the chief minister.

The Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 of the Kejriwal government has been allegedly used to extend undue financial favours to the liquor licensees much after the tenders had been awarded and thus cause huge losses to the ex-chequer.
