Manish Sisodia's judicial custody extended till May 30 in excise policy case


New Delhi, May 15 (IANS): A Delhi court on Wednesday extended till May 30 the judicial custody of AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy case.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court passed the orders upon the expiry of the previously granted judicial custody.

On Tuesday, a bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court reserved its verdict on the bail plea filed by Sisodia, who remains behind bars on corruption and money laundering charges.

During the hearing, ED counsel advocate Zoheb Hossain submitted before the high court that the probe agency will soon file a supplementary charge sheet in the excise policy case arraying the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as an accused.

In its probe, the probe agency found that the proceeds of crime to the tune of Rs 45 crore, which was part of the 'bribes' received from the 'South Group', were used by the AAP for campaigning in the 2021-22 Assembly elections in Goa.

Earlier, the trial court had refused to grant bail to the former deputy CM. Sisodia’s bail application has been pending since February.

    This is shear nonsense. An investigating agency holding a person in custody for more than a year is ridiculous. Is this a detention centre or investigating centre and do they have concrete proof that the accused can not refuse?????….No questions arise with court as to what is going on in custody for so long time??????….Courts have gone bonkers or thriving on biscuits thrown at them by butcher Ali BaBa in the centre. It’s mafia rule in India now. An underground mafia leader running the country. It’s his way or no way.
