CBI officer died by suicide as he was pressured to frame me: Manish Sisodia

In a sensational claim, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Monday said a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer died by suicide after he was pressured to frame the AAP leader in a false case. Sisodia also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi why officers are being pressured so much, news agency PTI reported.
A deputy legal advisor with the CBI, identified as Jitendra Kumar, allegedly committed suicide at his south Delhi residence last week, police said.

A senior police official said they got a call at the Defence Colony police station at around 6.45 am on Thursday about a man found hanging, and a crime team, along with a forensic mobile team, reached the spot.
Sisodia held the press conference shortly after the BJP turned the heat on the AAP government over the liquor case and released a 'sting video'. BJP leader Sambit Patra also urged liquor traders in Delhi to not get scared and make videos on how much commission they had to pay to Sisodia and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

"Now, there is no escape route for you, Manish Sisodia ji," Sambit Patra said. "When Kejriwal ji came to power, he asked people to do sting operation against any corruption, this is exactly what happened. There has been a sting operation against Sting master Kejriwal ji," Patra said.
