Delhi Excise Policy Case: Manish Sisodia, Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister, was arrested on Sunday (February 26) by the CBI after being questioned for over eight hours in the Delhi liquor policy case. He is the second Delhi minister to be arrested. The Central Bureau of Investigation said that Manish Sisodia's answers were not satisfactory. Now, Manish Sisodia has moved the Supreme Court challenging his arrest by the central probe agency. The top court Tuesday agreed to take up the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader’s petition challenging his arrest.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders have claimed that there was no proof against Manish Sisodia in the excise policy case and that the CBI agents disagreed on whether Sisodia should be detained.

"I've been informed that the majority of CBI agents opposed Manish's arrest. There is no proof against him, and he is well respected by all of them. Yet, there was such intense political pressure to detain him that they were forced to submit to their political overlords," Kejriwal said on Monday.
