Excise Policy Scam: Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court to pronounce today its orders on Manish Sisodia's bail plea in the money laundering case registered by the ED.

Judgement to be pronounced at 4pm by Judge MK Nagpal.

#RouseAvenueCourt #ManishSisodia #ED @dir_ed @AamAadmiParty Image
Sisodia has been behind bars since Feb 26 when he was arrested by the CBI.

He was subsequently arrested by the ED on allegations of money laundering.

On March 31, Sisodia's bail plea in the CBI case was rejected.
It is ED's case that Sisodia and other AAP leaders tweaked the excise policy to benefit certain traders. These traders in turn paid kickbacks to the AAP leader.

However, Sisodia's counsel have argued that the agencies have not been able to trace any money to him.
