New Delhi: In a case involving money laundering and the alleged excise fraud, a Delhi court on Tuesday prolonged Manish Sisodia's judicial custody until June 1.
The judge also instructed the jail staff to think about giving the politician a chair and a table inside the jail, along with some literature.
While Sisodia was being brought out of the courtroom, he told the media in reference to a bill to replace the Centre's Ordinance on Delhi's Services matter that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “does not believe in democracy”.
"Modi has become very arrogant,” the former deputy chief minister charged.
The Delhi government implemented the excise policy on November 17, 2021, but scrapped it at the end of September 2022 amid allegations of corruption.
Sisodia is an accused in the cases lodged by both the CBI and ED in the matter.
