Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI last month in now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case. while Satyendar Jain was arrested by ED last year in a case of hawala transactions related to a Kolkata-based company.
The CBI custody of former deputy CM Manish Sisodia ends on Monday after a Delhi court extended his remand by 2 days on Saturday. Sisodia will be produced in the court in the afternoon.
The AAP leader has spent a week in CBI’s remand after a court granted 2-day custody of Sisodia to CBI for his confrontation with two more material witnesses in the case.
AAP leader Manish Sisodia alleged mental harassment saying the CBI keeps asking him the same questions everyday during the ongoing investigation in the excise policy scam case. He said during the court proceedings on Saturday, “Every day from 8 am they keep asking the same questions. Documents don’t exist. They are making me sit for as long as 9-10 hours. It is not less than mental harassment.”
The court on Saturday extended by two days the CBI custody of Manish Sisodia to confront him with material witnesses. The agency had sought an extension of 3 days. Special judge M K Nagpal also directed the CBI not to ask him the same questions repeatedly after Sisodia termed it as “mental harassment”. He told the probe agency to not ask the “same questions again and again”. “If you have something new, ask him,” Nagpal said.
The judge, however, said that it is desired that during this period, the investigating officer will complete all the above confrontation exercise and also the examination and interrogation of the accused for the above said purposes.
AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said on Sunday that Manish Sisodia is being “mentally tortured” in jail and the people there are pressurising him to sign a false confession. He said in a press conference, “Manish Sisodia ji stated this in the CBI Trial Court yesterday. This had also been brought to the attention of the court. Because the CBI lacks evidence, they are torturing.”
