Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court dismissed the bail petitions of former deputy chief minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Tuesday in the corruption and money laundering cases brought forth by the CBI and the ED concerning the alleged excise scam.
Special judge for CBI and ED, Kaveri Baweja, denied the relief, stating that the current stage was not conducive to granting bail.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have accused Sisodia of involvement in irregularities during the modification of the Delhi Excise Policy, alleging undue favors to license holders, waiver or reduction of license fees, and extension of licenses without proper authorization.
The agencies further allege that the beneficiaries diverted illicit gains to the accused officials and falsified entries in their financial records to avoid detection. Sisodia was apprehended by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26, 2023, in connection with the “scam,” while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested the former deputy chief minister on March 9, 2023, in a money laundering case linked to the CBI FIR. Sisodia tendered his resignation from the Delhi cabinet on February 28, 2023.
