Manish Sisodia files a complaint with the SC about the CBI’s detention of him in the Delhi liquor “scam.”

Manish Sisodia petitions the SC against the CBI’s arrest in the Delhi liquor “scam,” and the CJI will hear the case today

In connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, Manish Sisodia was detained on Sunday. Tuesday at 3:50 p.m., the CJI decided to hear the case.

Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, filed a petition with the Supreme Court on Tuesday contesting his arrest and the CBI’s method of inquiry into the alleged liquor scam. Tuesday at 3:50 p.m., Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud decided to hear the case after it was brought up at 10.30 a.m. for an urgent listing.

Manish Sisodia was detained on Sunday night in relation to allegations of corruption in the creation and execution of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021–2022.

A special court in Delhi sent him to five-day CBI custody for effective interrogation to unravel the alleged scam. The Rouse Avenue Court, while sending Sisodia to the CBI remand, directed that the interrogation of the AAP leader during the remand period shall be conducted at some place having CCTV coverage in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court and the said footage shall be preserved by the CBI.

The court said, keeping in view the facts and circumstances, the accused is being remanded to CBI custody for a period of five days till March 4 for his further and extensive interrogation.

The Delhi deputy CM must be interrogated in custody, the CBI attorney argued to the court during arguments, in order to conduct a thorough probe of the case. The CBI claimed that Sisodia’s five-day detention was necessary since the conspiracy “was hatched in a very organised and hidden manner.”

Manish Sisodia was arrested on Sunday, according to a statement from the CBI. They claimed he was giving evasive answers and refusing to cooperate with the probe into the liquor scam case.

In an effort to refute the CBI position, the minister’s attorney claimed that there cannot be “self-incrimination” and that failing to provide the agency with the information it requests cannot be seen as a lack of cooperation. The defence attorneys added that the then-lieutenant governor (LG), who did not object to changes that are now part of the charges, gave his approval for the policy.

Rouse Avenue Court special judge MK Nagpal allowed the agency’s plea.

Manish Sisodia, the second minister of the Capital’s elected government to be arrested by a federal agency, holds 18 portfolios and his arrest has triggered anger and protests from his party.
