The CBI had arrested Sisodia on February 26 in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor or excise policy for 2021-22. He is lodged in judicial custody until March 20. The ED obtained the court’s permission to question the 51-year-old AAP leader in the jail for three days.


The agency is expected to question him about the alleged change and destruction of cell phones that were in his possession, the policy decisions, and the timeline followed by him as the excise minister of Delhi.
