This is oversimplification. Not just on basis of allegation, but the material facts are open to see.

Excise duty on Liquor is a huge source of revenue for any government around the world. Mr. Sisodia was the powerful home minister and solely responsible for the Excise. The excise duty policies were manipulated to accrue benefits to some alcohol cartels, all led by politicians.

The changes in the policy is in public domain and the results of profiteering is clear to all. The result is not disputable, that dealers profited immensely and disproportionately at the cost of the state while the policy also promoted alcohol sales by extending hours of sales.

The profits were routed to multiple shell companies and distributed among a small cartel divided into the north group and south group of well connected politicians. Tracing of these funds is not so easy since the companies are usually headed by proxies.

The issue now is two fold - was there a conspiracy being probed by a federal agency. Second the money trail (money laundering) probed by a federal agency similar to the FBI and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

The crimes that Mr. Sisodia is accused of, have very stringent bail conditions, very similar to those in the US for multiple serious federal crimes.

Also, it does not help that Mr. Sisodia had used and disposed of >15 phones, setup a secret intelligence unit to snoop on political opponents and run a fiefdom that reported only to him within the government.

The most balanced position is not to politicise this too much. All politicians are corrupt and the corruption isn't that easy to uncover and prove.
