‘Indulged In Destruction Of Evidence’: Court Rejects Manish Sisodia’s Bail
Arvind Kejriwal got interim bail. So did Sanjay Singh. But no such luck for Manish Sisodia.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed the bail petition of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in money laundering and corruption cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI respectively in connection with the alleged liquor scam.
His party, the AAP, said it “respectfully disagrees” with the Delhi High Court’s decision and will approach the Supreme Court to seek “justice” for the former deputy chief minister.
Mr Sisodia, 52, allegedly indulged in the destruction of crucial evidence, including electronic evidence, said Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma, who started pronouncing the order at 6:28 pm. The order was read out for 22 minutes.
“This court is of the opinion that petitioner has not been able to make out a case for grant of bail in his favour,” the High Court said.
The High Court said he was a very powerful and influential person within the power corridors of the Del..
