New Delhi, Dec 16 (PTI) The CBI seized files containing "cabinet decisions" during its day-long raid, the Delhi government alleged today with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claiming that a file relating to DDCA was scrutinised, drawing a rebuttal by the agency and the Centre.
Heightening the unprecedented acrimony, Kejriwal and his Deputy Manish Sisodia charged the Central Bureau of Investigation with fresh allegations accusing it of seizing documents "unrelated" to the agency's probe against Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar.
The Chief Minister also launched a fresh attack on Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, saying he had "misled" Parliament by saying that the CBI did not raid the Chief Minister's office.
"CBI kept reading DDCA file in my office.They wud hv seized it. But after my media briefing, they left it. Not clear if they took a copy. Docs seized from my office.No relation to allegations being probed. Item 7-file movement register of last one month," he said in a series of tweets.
Addressing a press conference, Sisodia wondered why the CBI had allegedly seized "file movement register of November- December" and "three files of transport department".
"What is the connection? CBI also scrutinized files of DDCA. They even planned to seize them but did not do so after Chief Minister raised the issue," Sisodia said.
In his tweets, Kejriwal also suggested that Jaitley was worried about Delhi government's probe into the functioning of DDCA. Jaitley had yesterday dismissed the allegations against him as "rubbish".

The office of Kejriwal's Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar was raided by CBI yesterday in a corruption case triggering a fresh face-off between the AAP and Centre and a vicious political slugfest in which the AAP chief lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Kejriwal claimed his office was raided which was denied by CBI as well as the Finance Minister in Rajya Sabha where the opposition created an uproar.
The chief minister claimed he was in fact the target and that Kumar was just an excuse. .
