CBI asked for 3 days remand, court asked – what is left now?
During the last hearing, the court had asked what was left after CBI sought remand. On this, the CBI’s lawyer had said that Sisodia was not cooperating in the investigation. Now many questions have to be answered from him. He has to be confronted with some witnesses.
In his clarification, Sisodia had alleged that the officers asked him the same question again and again. Due to this I am feeling mental harassment. I appeal to the court to save me from this.
Sisodia’s argument – fully cooperated in the inquiry
On March 3, Sisodia filed a bail application in the lower court. In this petition, he wrote that he has cooperated in the CBI inquiry. They have come whenever they have been called. He argued that there is no valid reason to keep him in custody now, as all the recovery has been done by the CBI.
On Saturday, the court sent Manish Sisodia to CBI custody till March 6.
