Delhi excise policy case: ED gets 5-day custody of Manish Sisodia

A Delhi court today granted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) five-day custody of AAP leader Manish Sisodia, who has been arrested in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy. The ED had sought 7-day custody.

The ED told the court that crucial information had come up during Sisodia's custody and he had to be confronted with other accused persons.
It said voluminous data from Sisodia's email and mobile, etc. is also being forensically analysed.

Opposing the federal probe agency's plea, Sisodia's lawyer said there is not a whisper from the agency regarding the proceeds of the crime, which is fundamental to the case.
