Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and AAP leader Vijay Nair were acquitted by the Rouse Avenue Court in the Delhi liquor policy case, with the court stating allegations were baseless based on lack of evidence and gaps in CBI's investigation.

The verdict has brought relief to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had maintained that the case was politically motivated.

Court Says Allegations Were Baseless

While delivering the judgment, Special Judge Jitendra Singh stated that the allegations against Kejriwal were not supported by solid evidence. The court observed that there was no concrete material to prove criminal intent or involvement in any larger conspiracy.

According to the court, the prosecution failed to establish even a prima facie case against the accused. The judge noted that the charges appeared to be based on assumptions rather than verifiable facts.

Strong Remarks Against CBI

The court also made sharp observations regarding the investigation conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). It said that the detailed charge sheet contained gaps and was not supported by reliable witness statements or documentary proof.

The judge remarked that implicating individuals in a criminal case requires substantial evidence, which was lacking in this instance. The order was seen as a setback for the CBI in the high-profile case.

Relief for Manish Sisodia and Vijay Nair

The court made it clear that no prima facie case had been established against Manish Sisodia. Similar observations were made regarding Vijay Nair.

The ruling effectively clears the three leaders of the allegations related to the controversial Delhi liquor policy case.

Reaction From Sunita Kejriwal

Following the verdict, Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, expressed happiness over the court's decision. In a social media post, she wrote that truth always prevails and no power can stand above justice.

Her statement reflected the emotional relief felt by the family after a long legal battle.

Political Impact of the Verdict

The liquor policy case had become one of the most debated political controversies in Delhi. Opposition parties had accused the AAP government of corruption, while the party denied all charges.

With the court's acquittal, the political narrative may shift. The ruling is likely to strengthen AAP's claim that the case lacked evidence.

As reactions continue to pour in, the verdict marks an important moment in Delhi's political and legal history.
