New Delhi: In a money laundering case stemming from the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, a Delhi court on Tuesday requested the Enforcement Directorate's answer to the former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia's request for bail. The ED was given notice by Special Judge MK Nagpal, who asked for an answer by March 25.
The AAP leader's ED custody was extended by the judge on March 17 for an additional five days, until March 22.
The ED arrested Sisodia on March 9 in the Tihar Jail, where he was lodged in connection with a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case about alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
The CBI arrested Sisodia on February 26.
