CBI Challenges Kejriwal, Sisodia Discharge in Liquor Policy Case
The CBI is a group of investigators who look into serious crimes.
They believe two leaders in Delhi may have broken rules about alcohol.
The leaders are Arvind Kejriwal, who is in charge of Delhi, and Manish Sisodia, who used to help him.
A lower court said the leaders could go free.
The CBI does not agree with that decision.
So the CBI asked a higher court to look at the case again.
The higher court has not made a decision yet.
We do not know when the next court meeting will happen.
The leaders say they did nothing wrong.
The higher court will decide if the lower court was right.
The CBI has filed a challenge against the discharge of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
The challenge concerns the Delhi liquor policy case.
Both leaders were previously discharged by a lower court.
The matter is currently pending before the appropriate judicial forum.
The next hearing date has yet to be confirmed.
