The Central bureau of Investigation on Sunday arrested Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia after interrogating him for several hours in the excise policy scam case. The agency said Sisodia was not cooperating to the investigation.
Earlier, Sisodia arrived at the heavily-barricaded CBI office after paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat in the morning. Police had detained around 50 persons, including AAP MP Sanjay Singh and minister Gopal Rai, for protesting near the CBI office. Police had also imposed 144 CrPC in the area.
Other prominent persons among the detainees were Rohit Kumar Mehraulia, MLA Trilok Puri, Dinesh Mohaniya, MLA Sangam Vihar, Kuldeep Singh, MLA Kondli and Sarita Singh, Ex MLA Rohtash Nagar.
Sisodia, accused number one in the CBI FIR, was earlier questioned on October 17, a month before the agency filed its charge sheet on November 25. The CBI had not named Sisodia in the charge sheet as the central probe agency kept the probe open against him and other suspects and accused, they said.
