Delhi:Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will be produced in court Monday afternoon, after the CBI's custodial interrogation of two more days. Sisodia was arrested by the central investigation agency last week in the Delhi excise policy case. He has also resigned from the Arvind Kejriwal cabinet following his arrest.
The Rouse Avenue Court Saturday extended the remand for two more days and listed the matter for hearing on March 10. In the court, the CBI counsel had stated that Sisodia is not cooperating in the investigation and hence the probe agency need some more days of custody so that they can confront him with two persons. The CBI also mentioned that a lot of time went into his medicals. Moreover, an entire day went on the petition that he filed in the Supreme Court which was later dismissed.
In the court, Sisodia alleged that the CBI is asking him repetitive questions and making him sit for long hours. Sisodia alleged that the CBI is making him sit for 9 to 10 hours daily and asking the same questions. Sisodia further said that such treatment is no less than mental harassment. The court then directed the CBI not to ask repetitive questions. Sisodia had approached the Rouse Avenue Court for bail on Friday claiming that "no fruitful purpose would be served" keeping him in custody.
