Former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s judicial custody has been extended till April 26 in the money laundering case related to the now scrapped excise policy. Sisodia had moved an interim bail application before the Rouse Avenue Court earlier citing campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Earlier, Sisodia’s counsel had moved a regular bail plea in Rouse Avenue Court a few months after the Supreme Court rejected his previous bail application. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had then told the apex court that it would conclude the trial in the next six to eight months. Almost six months have passed, but the charges have still not been framed against him in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case.
Meanwhile, Delhi Court deferred its order on whether to frame charges against BJP MP and ex WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case. Advocate Rajeev Mohan representing Bhushan sought further investigation in the case alleging through an application that he was not in Delhi when one of the wrestlers was molested. The Court will now pass an order on this application on April 26.
