New Delhi/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached the assets worth Rs 52. 24 crores belonging to former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and others in a case related to the alleged Delhi liquor scam.

The probe agency, on its official Twitter handle, wrote and informed, “ED has provisionally attached movable and immovable assets worth Rs 52.24 crore belonging to Manish Sisodia, Amandeep Singh Dhall, Rajesh Joshi, Gautam Malhotra and others in the case of Delhi Liquor Scam. Total attachment in the case is now Rs 128.78 crore.”

Reacting to ED’s attachment of Sisodia’s assets, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused him of defaming Sisodia by using ED.

Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal wrote and alleged, “Prime Minister, when you did not find anything against Manish Sisodia, then you started defaming Manish through ED? Your ED has been running false news on TV channels since evening that Manish Sisodia’s property worth 52 crores has been confiscated. Here are the papers of the property actually seized by ED. Total property worth 80 lakhs has been confiscated, that too before 2018, when the excise policy was not formulated. The entire property is of a number declared.”

“People never thought that a day would come when a great country like India would get such a Prime Minister who would try to eliminate his political rivals by lying openly like this. You also know who the real corrupt are. If you have the courage, show them by holding them,” he tweeted and wrote.
