Delhi court sends Sisodia to judicial custody till March 20

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday produced former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was arrested in the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam case, before Rouse Avenue Court as his weeklong remand expired. The court has now remanded him to judicial custody till March 20. Meanwhile, the CBI's counsel submitted that the defense was giving a political color to the investigations.

• Sisodia was arrested last week after eight hours of questioning in connection with alleged corruption in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government's now-scrapped 2021-22 Delhi Liquor Policy case.
• The CBI has alleged that under the policy—which Sisodia was instrumental in proposing and formulating—the AAP extended undue favors to liquor traders in lieu of kickbacks, which the party used in election campaigning.
