Sisodia's Arrest in Liquor Policy Case
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) politician
Manish Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday in the liquor policy case.
He was presented before the court on Monday where he was sent to five-day custody.
Federal agencies have been investigating financial irregularities in the now-scrapped liquor policy introduced by the AAP government in Delhi in November 2021 since last year.
The investigation started after the federal government representative and Delhi lieutenant governor ordered a probe into the policy.
The federally-ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has repeatedly accused the AAP, its national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Sisodia of giving undue benefits to liquor vend licensees.
However, the AAP has denied all the allegations and said that the case against Sisodia is fake.
