Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on July 6 appealed to the Supreme Court for bail in the liquor policy ‘scam’ case.
The Delhi High Court had in May refused to grant him bail after agreeing with the objection of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that he was an influential person who may use his power to influence witnesses and derail the case.
Similarly in July, Mr. Sisodia could not obtain bail in money laundering charges arraigned against him in connection with the excise policy case.
