At that time, he denounced the entire case as «fabricated» and viewed it as an attempt to undermine the AAP's credibility. Earlier this year, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the same case.

The report highlighted various alleged irregularities, including a waiver of Rs 144 crore to retail licensees in the name of COVID-19-impacted sales and a refund of Rs 30 crore to a successful bidder for an airport zone who failed to obtain a no objection certificate for opening liquor stores there.
