A special CBI court on Monday remanded Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in five-day custody of the central probe agency till March 4, a day after his arrest in the excise scam case. Special judge M K Nagpal allowed the CBI’s plea for the custodial interrogation of Sisodia.
The AAP alleged that 80 per cent of its leaders were arrested since Sunday. “Since yesterday, the Aam Aadmi Party has been repeatedly saying that not only has Manish Sisodia ji been arrested, but almost 80 per cent of the leadership of the party has been arrested by police. When asked, the central government is saying that they have only been detained,” AAP national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said.
