Delhi excise policy scam case: CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) remand of former deputy chief minister and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia will end on Monday (March 6).
Earlier, the Rouse Avenue District Court on Saturday extended Sisodia’s CBI remand till March 6.
Notably, Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam and was earlier produced before the Rouse Avenue District Court today after the expiry of his custodial remand.
Sisodia was produced before the court at around 2:00 pm on Saturday. As per sources, CBI had sought the 3-day custodial remand of Sisodia. During the hearing, Sisodia claimed that the sleuths were forcing him to sit for more than 9-10 hours and added they were asking the same questions. He called the interrogation kinda “mental harassment”. “They are making me sit for questioning for as long as 9-10 hours asking me the same questions again and again. It not less than mental harassment,” said the former Delhi minister.
The CBI sources have claimed that the former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Minister was still evasive and was not cooperating. The central probe agency sources said that in January they seized a computer from the office of Sisodia. Later, it was learnt that files and other data were deleted from the computer. The CBI then sent the computer to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to retrieve the deleted files. Now the FSL has given them a report and retrieved the whole file deleted from the computer.
