The Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court today extended the judicial custody of former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia till June 2.
Special Judge MK Nagpal extended Sisodia’s custody after the former Delhi deputy chief minister was produced before the court on the expiry of his judicial custody.
On March 31 the court dismissed Sisodia’s bail application, stating that he was “prima facie the architect” of the criminal conspiracy behind the alleged payment of advance kickbacks of around Rs 90-100 crore meant for him and his colleagues in the Delhi government.
Therefore, CBI arrested Sisodia for alleged corruption in the formulation & implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy, 2021-22.
