The CBI earlier arrested Sisodia in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped excise policy for 2021-22. A Delhi court on Saturday extended by two days the CBI custody of former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, arrested in a corruption case related to the now-scrapped excise policy, to confront him with material witnesses.
Special judge M K Nagpal also directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) not to ask him the same questions repeatedly after Sisodia termed it as "mental harassment". "They are not using third-degree. But sitting for eight to nine hours and answering the same questions again and again, that too is mental harassment," Sisodia said, who was produced before the court on expiry of his earlier five-day CBI custody.
To this, the judge, who had in the last hearing directed the CBI not to use the third degree on the accused, told the probe agency not to ask the "same questions again and again". "If you have something new, ask him," Nagpal said.
