New Delhi: An inquiry conducted by chief secretary Naresh Kumar in July had allegedly found several "deliberate and gross procedural lapses" to provide "undue benefits" to liquor licensees in the implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22. This prompted lieutenant governor VK Saxena to recommend a CBI investigation into the case.
According to sources, there allegedly were "substantive indications towards a financial quid pro quo" at the top political level and the excise minister (deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia) "took and got executed major decisions in violation of the statutory provisions" and notified the excise policy that had "huge financial implications".
Some of the lapses alleged by the chief secretary are in the FIR registered by the CBI in the case.
Sources said that the report of another inquiry ordered by the LG to probe the "role played by officials and civil servants" also found the excise department officials allegedly acted as "proactive conduits in formulating and implementing illegal orders at the behest of the minister in-charge".
