Delhi Assembly Panel Resets Key Hearing After Kejriwal, Sisodia Skip ‘Faansi Ghar’ Inquiry

The committee is probing archival claims that the 2022‑inaugurated room was a tiffin area or lift shaft rather than a gallows.

Overview

  • Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Ram Niwas Goel and Rakhi Birla did not appear before the Committee of Privileges during its November 13 sitting.
  • The panel gave them another opportunity and scheduled their appearance for November 20, 2025 at 2:30 pm, calling the sitting critical for advancing the probe.
  • Members reviewed maps, National Archives material and other records as part of a continuing documentary examination of the structure’s authenticity.
  • Speaker Vijender Gupta has cited a 1912 plan and archival documents to say the space aligns with a tiffin room and a goods‑lift shaft, a view echoed by several historians and the current government.
  • Kejriwal and Sisodia have challenged the summons in the Delhi High Court, where the court said their plea was prima facie not maintainable; the structure was inaugurated on August 9, 2022 in their presence.
