Manish Sisodia sent to five-day CBI custody

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was produced before Delhi’s Rose Avenue Court today in a case pertaining to CBI seeking his custody for five day. After reserving the order a while ago, the court has now sent Sisodia to five-day custody, as demanded by the central probing agency.

“What should I do with a phone that I changed? I am a minister, I cannot send it to a second-hand shop, it would have important data. CBI confronted me with the material but I did not confess", ANI quoted the minister's lawyer as saying.

CBI had released a statement post Sisodia’s arrest claiming that he did not cooperate with the investigation 

“The Remand application says I gave evasive replies. This cannot be a ground for remand. They search my residence on August 19. 2022. I handover my phone. They called me to join the investigation and I joined. I cooperated,” Sisodia's counsel Krishnan argued.
