NEW DELHI: Manish Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister, gets released from CBI detention on Monday after a Delhi court on Saturday prolonged his remand by two days.
In the afternoon, Sisodia will be brought before the court.
As a judge awarded the CBI 2-day custody of Sisodia for his altercation with two additional crucial witnesses in the case, the AAP leader spent a week in detention.
Manish Sisodia, the leader of the AAP, accused the CBI of harassing him mentally by repeatedly asking him the same questions during the course of the inquiry into the excise policy fraud.
During the court sessions on Saturday, he remarked, "They keep asking the same questions every day starting at 8 a.m. I may be forced to sit for nine or ten hours. It constitutes harassment of the mind.”
The CBI's custody of Manish Sisodia was extended by the court on Saturday by an additional two days so that they may question him in person.
The organisation had asked for a three-day extension.
As Sisodia referred to it as "mental harassment," special judge M. K. Nagpal also ordered the CBI to stop asking him the same questions over and over again.
Nonetheless, the judge stated that it was hoped that the investigating officer would finish all of the aforementioned confrontation exercises, as well as the examination and questioning of the accused for the aforementioned purposes, during this time.
Manish Sisodia is being "mentally tormented" in jail, according to AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj, who further claimed that inmates are pressuring him to make a false confession.
Moreover, Sisodia pleaded for release on bail, arguing that because all of the recoveries had already been made, keeping him in detention would be ineffective.
He further stated that bail had already been approved for the other suspects who had been detained in this case.
The court gave the CBI notice of Sisodia's bail request and ordered it to respond by March 10 in order for the court to hear arguments on the application.
