Manish Sisodia To Be Questioned By Enforcement Directorate In Jail Today

Manish Sisodia, former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, will be questioned in jail today by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi liquor policy case.

Manish Sisodia, former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, will be questioned in jail today by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi liquor policy case. This is seen to be a precursor to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader's arrest by the agency, which probes financial crimes.

The Enforcement Directorate will record Mr Sisodia's statement in its investigations into money-laundering allegations linked to the liquor policy case in which Manish Sisodia was sent to jail for two weeks yesterday.

Mr Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26. The Enforcement Directorate has to record the statement of an accused before arresting him.

AAP's number 2 leader has been accused of corruption in a new liquor policy that was scrapped within weeks after Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI probe. He quit the Delhi cabinet two days after his arrest.
