Excise policy scam: Sisodia denied bail in ED case


New Delhi, Apr 28 (IANS): A Delhi court on Friday denied bail to AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi excise policy case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Special judge, Rouse Avenue Courts, M.K. Nagpal pronounced the order after having reserved it on April 18.

The court had, a day before, extended Sisodia's judicial custody by two weeks in the case.

On Thursday, the same court extended Sisodia's judicial custody till May 12, in the case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The ED had submitted before the judge that Sisodia had planted fabricated emails to show that there was public approval for the policy.The directions to send these pre-drafted emails were given to Zakir Khan, Chairman of Delhi Minorities' Commission, who then asked his interns to send the emails, the ED claimed.

The probe agency had also said that the 60 days given to complete the investigation against Sisodia are not over yet. It said that it has found fresh evidence indicating Sisodia's involvement in the alleged scam, and the investigation is at a crucial stage.

    If Ed has failed to prove anything in 60 days, means they are waiting for planting some more evidences by the Government. SC has lost its existence since long.

    Courts too have become blind now. This is street verdict of court by street word without even looking into the matter and verifying facts. Investigation by CBI more than 2 months still CBI could not find anything. Last year too CBI couldn’t find anything against Sisodia, so shouldn’t courts consider this and look into the matter more seriously. This harassment, highhandedness and misuse of power. Also courts can not see wrestlers protest and address their plea????... P.T. Usha being a woman has been fully bought by the govt and passing biased remarks against women wrestlers. An injustice to women wrestler victims.
