Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned for nearly nine hours by the CBI on Sunday as a witness in the excise policy case, amid protests by his party as the AAP chief claimed that the allegations of scam were false and the agency was acting at the BJP's behest.
"I was asked around 56 questions. I answered them all...as I said earlier we have nothing to hide. The alleged liquor scam is false, fabricated and motivated by dirty politics... We will die but not give up honesty," Mr Kejriwal told reporters after leaving the CBI headquarters at around 8.30 pm.
The agency had summoned Mr Kejriwal on Friday seeking his appearance as a witness before the investigation team.
Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, a key aide of Mr Kejriwal, was arrested on February 26 after nearly eight hours of questioning in the case with officials saying his answers were not satisfactory.
