A Delhi court today sent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former state deputy chief minister (CM) Manish Sisodia to judicial custody till 20 March in excise scam case, after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said it did not require the custody of the senior Aam Aadmi Party leader for now.

Sisodia was brought to special court this afternoon after his CBI custody ended. Sisodia was in the custody of the CBI for seven days, ever since his arrest for the liquor policy scam. An application to send the accused to judicial custody has been filed. It is submitted that the CBI custody is no longer required and the same may be sought later, if required. In view of submission made, the accused is sent to JC till March 20’, the court said.

The CBI had arrested Sisodia last week in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped liquor policy for 2021-22. Sisodia was in charge of the finance portfolio of the state government when the policy was made. Following the arrest, he resigned from his post as deputy chief minister on February 28.
