Why didn't the debate start? Cannot be kept in jail like this… Supreme Court asked these questions to ED in Sisodia case

Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia is in jail in a case related to Delhi Excise Policy. Sisodia's bail plea was heard in the Supreme Court. During this, the court asked CBI and ED why the debate on the allegations against Sisodia has not started yet? No one can be kept in such water.

Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia is currently in jail in cases related to Delhi Excise Policy. The hearing on Sisodia's bail case is going on in the Supreme Court. During the hearing, the Supreme Court asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) why the debate on the charges against Manish Sisodia has not started yet? The Supreme Court told the ED that you cannot keep someone in jail like this. The Supreme Court has sought answers from CBI-ED on keeping Sisodia in jail. The hearing of this case will continue even today.

A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti asked Additional Solicitor General (ASJ) SV Raju, appearing for both the CBI and ED, when would the arguments on the charges against Sisodia begin in the trial court. In any case, after the charge sheet is filed, debate on the charges should begin immediately. On this, Raju said that the case against Sisodia is at the stage of section 207 of CrPC and we will start arguments on the charges soon. Sisodia was arrested by both CBI and ED agencies.

We have enough evidence against Sisodia- ED-CBI

During the hearing, ASJ Raju asked why Sisodia should not be granted bail? In response to the question, the Supreme Court was told that if a person of the level of Deputy CM is handling 18 departments including the Excise Department and is taking bribe, then there is a need to set a proper example. Look at their role. Sisodia tampered with the evidence by destroying his mobile phone. We have enough evidence to confirm this.

Also a case of putting pressure on Sisodia

Raju told the court that there was also a case of putting pressure on Sisodia. A wholesaler was forced to give up his license and gave the license to a company which did not even meet the criteria. Raju said that Delhi businessman Dinesh Arora, who turned government witness, has claimed that Sisodia had taken bribe.

ED is considering making AAP also an accused

At the same time, ED has made it clear in the Supreme Court that it is considering making the political party Aam Aadmi Party also an accused in this case. In the argument on behalf of ED, it was said that the change in excise policy was made to provide profit to the liquor companies. In the excise policy, the profit margin was changed arbitrarily from 5 to 12 percent.
