Delhi Court remanded AAP leader Manish Sisodia to judicial custody till April 5

Delhi Court remanded  Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to judicial custody till April 5 in the money laundering case initiated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to the Delhi excise policy scam.

Yesterday, during trials former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told a Delhi Rose Avenue Court that he has cooperated with the CBI investigation and none of the searches has revealed any incriminating material against him.

Sisodia's counsel argued that his custodial interrogation was no longer required and he was not a flight risk.

“I am a public servant but two other public servants, against whom allegations are graver have not been arrested,” his counsel contended.

The lawyer for Sisodia, who was arrested on February 26 by the CBI, further said there's no documentary evidence of receiving kickbacks against him and the change in the excise policy is purely in the normal course.

He said the matter of change in excise policy went to the Delhi LG and the finance secretary among others.
