Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has accused CBI of trying to "defame" Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and bureaucrats in his government by "leaking" news in the media and asked the agency director to refrain himself from adopting such "tactics".

In a letter to CBI Director Anil Kumar Sinha, Sisodia alleged that since the probe agency raid at CM's office completely "failed", it is now adopting such tactics.

"I want to know whether these news stories are being leaked at the directive of Prime Minister Narendra Modi because CBI directly reports to him," Sisodia said.



He has also asked for accountability to be fixed against officers indulging in leaking stories.

The letter was written on December 25.

He said if Sinha did not take appropriate steps, it would only prove that the prime minister was misusing the CBI to defame his political opponents.



Sisodia claimed that despite raids and interrogation, nothing seems to have been found and thus malicious campaign is being carried.

On December 15, CBI raided the office of Kejriwal's principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar at the Secretariat in New Delhi
