A Delhi court on Friday extended former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s judicial custody till June 2 in the alleged now-scrapped excise policy case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the High Court had reserved its judgement on the AAP leader’s bail plea.<\/p>\n
Sisodia had moved to the high court on April 3, seeking interim bail in the case on the grounds of his wife’s illness.<\/p>\n
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma directed the jail superintendent to provide Sisodia with video conferencing facility to speak to his wife every alternate day between 3-4 p.m. as per prison rules, till disposal of bail plea.<\/p>\n
The CBI on Wednesday opposed the bail plea, arguing that the former Deputy Chief Minister was in a position of power and had political clout.<\/p>\n
A Delhi court, on Monday, extended Sisodia’s judicial custody till May 23 in a case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).<\/p>\n
The ED had arrested Sisodia on March 9 after the CBI’s arrest on February 26.<\/p>\n
Last month, Special CBI Judge M.K. Nagpal of the Rouse Avenue Court denied bail to Sisodia, holding that the evidence, prima facie, “speaks volumes” of his involvement in the offence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
