New Delhi: A Delhi court extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia until April 18 in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.
Kaveri Baweja, special judge, extended the custody of the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister after he was produced before the court following the end of his earlier ordered judicial custody.
His party leader, former minister Sanjay Singh, who is also a co-accused in this case and was recently released on bail, also appeared before the court for the proceedings.
Both the Enforcement Directorate and CBI, the probe agencies, have alleged that the policy was modified to favor license holders and license fees were waived or reduced without the approval of competent authority.
They also alleged that the beneficiaries had diverted “illegal” gains to the accused and made false entries in the books of account to escape detection. Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26, 2023, for his alleged role in the “scam”.
The ED arrested him in a money-laundering case stemming from the CBI FIR on March 9, 2023.
