Liquor Policy Case: Delhi High Court Rejects Manish Sisodia's Bail Plea, He'll Move Supreme Court

Manish Sisodia, former Delhi deputy chief minister, has been denied bail by the Delhi High Court in a CBI case regarding the alleged liquor policy scam in the state.

The bail plea was dismissed by a single-judge bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma who deemed the allegations against Sisodia as serious. According to sources, reported NDTV, Sisodia plans to challenge this decision in the Supreme Court.

The high court stated that Sisodia's release on bail could potentially influence witnesses due to his influential status, as they pronounced their verdict on his bail plea.

Sisodia was arrested by CBI on 26 February, over six months after the FIR was filed.

Delhi's excise policy was implemented on 17 November 2021 but was canceled at the end of September 2022 due to allegations of corruption.

Manish Sisodia is accused by CBI and Enforcement Directorate in the matter.
