The CBI had said that Kejriwal was deliberately not answering questions related to the liquor scam. Also, Kejriwal did not answer the reason for increasing the profit margin from 5 percent to 12 percent in the new liquor policy. It was said by the CBI that when the second wave of Corona was going on in the country, why was there a need to change the liquor policy in the cabinet?
