Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia on Thursday asked the BJP to share the purported sting featuring an accused in the excise policy case with the CBI and dared the probe agency to arrest him if the allegations are true.

He said if the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) does not arrest him within four days, it would be accepted that the purported sting video is "yet another lie" and part of the conspiracy "hatched at the offices of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi" to topple the Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi.

The BJP on Thursday shared a purported sting to claim that the AAP government in Delhi framed its excise policy to help a select few, and used the money earned through alleged corruption to fund its campaign in Goa and Punjab assembly polls.

The BJP showed the sting at a press conference in which a person linked to liquor trade is claiming that the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led government deliberately kept smaller players out of its "tailor-made" excise policy, now scrapped, to help a few persons monopolise the market.

The person featuring in the sting is an accused in the case registered by the CBI to probe the alleged corruption linked to the policy, the BJP said. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said this is the second such sting.
