However, Sisodia has continued to deny any wrongdoing and accused the BJP of targetting him and the AAP-led Delhi government through central agencies.

In a tweet, Sisodia had said, "They have used the full power of CBI, ED against me, raided my house, searched bank locker, but nothing was found against me."

The AAP leader also said that the CBI has been made to go after him as "they" want to stop him from doing "good work" on the education of the children in Delhi.
