Manish Sisodia’s Judicial Custody Extended till June 2

New Delhi: Manish Sisodia is to remain in jail till June 2. A court in Delhi extended the judicial custody of AAP leader Manish Sisodia in the alleged excise policy scam case till June 2.

On Friday, on the expiry of his judicial custody, the former Delhi deputy chief minister was produced before the court.

On March 31, the court had dismissed Sisodia’s bail plea remarking that he was “prima facie the architect” of the criminal conspiracy behind alleged payment of advance kickbacks of around Rs 90-100 crore meant for him and his colleagues in the Delhi government.

The CBI arrested Sisodia for alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy, 2021-22.
