According to information, the Delhi Court has extended Manish Sisodia’s judicial custody until June 1 in a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning believed inconsistencies in the now scrapped Delhi excise policy on Tuesday.
Manish Sisodia came in person before the court, and special judge MK Nagpal extended the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader’s judicial detention. The Delhi Court ordered the jail superintendent to consider Manish Sisodia’s request to exchange the books he had finished reading.
Further, he was being held in custody for another set of books that has been approved by the Delhi Court during Tuesday’s brief sessions. The special judge also gave the jail official instructions to take into account the Manish Sisodia’s requests for chairs and a table in the cell.
Manish Sisodia was initially apprehended by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 for his involvement with an excise policy case after being questioned for eight hours in Tihar jail.
On March 9, the Enforcement Directorate arrested him again. Now the authorities are currently detaining Manish Sisodia. In the two cases under investigation by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate, his appeals to the trial court’s refusal of his bail application are still pending.
