Arrested Delhi Ministers Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain Resign From Cabinet

New Delhi: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Minister Satyendar Jain have resigned from their respective posts in the cabinet.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has reportedly accepted their resignation. 

The Supreme Court earlier on Tuesday refused to entertain the plea filed by Sisodia challenging his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the excise policy case.

 

He was arrested on Sunday after eight hours of questioning in connection with the alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22. He was sent to five-day CBI remand to allow the agency to get “genuine and legitimate” answers to questions being asked to him. 

 

Earlier this month, the agency had interrogated Satyendar Jain in Tihar Jail in connection with the case after taking permission from the court. Jain was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in May last year in a money laundering case. He is not an accused in the excise policy case.
