Excise Policy Case: Delhi HC Allows Manish Sisodia To Withdraw Interim Bail Plea

Former Delhi DCM Manish Sisodia withdrew his interim bail plea pending before the High Court on account of his wife’s ill health filed in the CBI’s probe into the Delhi excise policy case.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at four different places, including the close associates’ premises of Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, connected with a money laundering probe that it launched on the Delhi government’s (now-scrapped) liquor policy.

Furthermore, MP Singh alleged that ED raided the houses of 2 of his associates, Ajit Tyagi and Sarvesh Mishra in relation to the Delhi excise policy case.

The Aam Aadmi Party stated that it will boycott the inaugural ceremony of the new parliament building on May 28. The party said that it was “upset” that the parliament building wasn’t being inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu. Further, it stated that, “Several other opposition parties will also not attend the event. We will boycott the ceremony.”
