Former deputy chief minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in his bail application said that keeping him in custody will serve ‘no fruitful purpose’. He was arrested on February 26 over alleged irregularities in Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 and sent to a five-day custody of the Central Burau of Investigation (CBI).
Sisodia earlier resigned from Delhi cabinet followed by Supreme Court's refusal to intervene on the matter. He moved Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court for regular bail after the apex court pointed out that he had sufficient legal remedies before approaching the highest court. He held a total of 18 portfolios, one of which was Delhi's excise portfolio.
The bail plea will be heard today, on the last day of CBI remand. The probe agency earlier claimed that Sisodia hatched a conspiracy in a very planned and secret manner. However, his lawyer opposed the remand application, arguing, "If someone is not willing to say something, that can't be a ground for arrest".
His arrest was criticised by the opposition parties and alleged that Centre has been using investigative agencies under its ambit to target rivals.
