The Delhi High Court on May 30
rejected bail plea of former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia,
arrested in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case, noting there
are “serious allegations of misconduct” against him.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma said
that statement of the concerned excise officers have been relied upon by the
CBI in connection with its probe into the case.

are serious allegations of misconduct against Mr. Sisodia. He being an
influential person and the witnesses being mostly public servants, the possibility
of witnesses being influenced cannot be ruled out,” Justice Sharma said.
