CBI is probing the alleged irregularities in the liquor policy case, for which the central investigation agency arrested former Delhi's deputy CM on February 26. Moreover, the ED is also interrogating Sisodia regarding the money laundering case related to the Excise Policy, claiming that Sisodia is the main conspirator in the corruption.

Sisodia's wife who is suffering from an autoimmune disorder was admitted to a private hospital, the sources informed on Tuesday. She has been admitted to the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal along with Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann had visited Sisodia's residence to meet her and assure her of all support after Manish Sisodia was arrested in February.
"Seema Sisodia is suffering from an autoimmune disorder, multiple sclerosis. Her condition had deteriorated and she had to be hospitalised," a source said.
