NEW DELHI: Hundreds of Aam Aadmi Party workers are protesting against the arrest of Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia by the CBI in connection with the liquor policy case. Arvind Kejriwal's party is also staging protests at the Bharatiya Janata Party`s Headquarters at the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in the national capital. Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation after eight hours of questioning in the now-scrapped excise policy case. Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has said that Manish Sisodia was arrested not only because of his role in the liquor scam but also for the destruction of evidence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier on Monday inaugurated Shivamogga Airport in a major boost to connectivity and accessibility of the Karnataka city and other neighbouring areas in the Malnad region. The new airport has been developed at a cost of around Rs 450 crore and the passenger terminal can handle around 300 travellers every hour.

Among other developments, voting is being held in the northeastern states of Meghalaya and Nagaland for the assembly elections, where around 552 candidates are in the fray. In Meghalaya, there are 60 assembly seats, but polling for the Sohiong constituency in East Khasi Hills district was adjourned due to the death of UDP candidate HDR Lyngdoh, while in Nagaland, over 13 lakh voters will decide the electoral fate of 183 candidates contesting in 59 out of a total of 60 seats as the Akuluto seat in Zunheboto district was won uncontested by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nominee and sitting MLA Kazheto Kinimi.
