The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of being the "sutradhar" in the excise policy scam. The CBI claimed that Kejriwal signed the excise policy, circulated it to his colleagues, and received their signatures within a single day during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CBI also filed its final chargesheet against Kejriwal, stating that he was present at the time Vijay Nair brought a copy of the excise policy to be entered into a computer.
