Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s difficulties are increasing. Delhi’s special court on Wednesday sent Manish Sisodia to judicial custody for 14 days in the Excise Policy case. Sisodia was produced before Special Judge MK Nagpal of Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court after the Enforcement Directorate’s custody in the money laundering probe ended today.
During this, the ED told the court that their interrogation was over for the time being. If further inquiry is required, then petition can be filed again, so that some important aspects related to Delhi’s excise policy can be investigated.
Sisodia sought permission to take some books
Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia urged the court to allow him to carry some religious and spiritual books during his judicial custody. Sisodia is already in judicial custody in the case registered by the CBI. Manish Sisodia told the special court that the CBI has not found anything against him in its probe into alleged irregularities related to the excise policy. Along with this said that now there is no need to interrogate him either by taking him into custody.
