Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on May 23 extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) till June 1. Controversy erupts when AAP condemned Delhi police for ‘pushing’ the former deputy chief minister on his way back to prison while the police termed the attack as a ‘propaganda’.
During the hearing, special judge MK Nagpal also directed the jail authorities to consider providing Mr Sisodia a chair and a table along with books inside the prison.
Mr Sisodia is in Jail since February 26 and was arrested in the now scrapped excise policy amid allegations of corruption. He is an accused in the cases lodged by CBI. ED is further probing a money laundering case in the same matter.
