New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday sent former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia to judicial custody till March 20, in the case pertaining to the alleged excise policy scam. He was produced before the court following the expiry of his CBI custody.

On Saturday, the court extended his custody till March 6. During the hearing, the former minister alleged that he was being subjected to several hours of CBI questioning and dubbed it as mental harassment.

The AAP also alleged that the CBI is mentally torturing and harassing Sisodia to accept the allegations made against him in the liquor policy case. AAP chief spokesperson and MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged: “The CBI does not have any documentary evidence to prove Sisodia has embezzled even a rupee. Because of lack of evidence, their whole game is to get him to admit to baseless allegations through torture and to sign a false confession one way or another.”.
