Manish Sisodia being tortured by CBI: AAP

AAP national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj Sunday claimed the CBI was ”torturing” senior party leader Manish Sisodia and pressuring him to sign papers containing false charges. The federal probe agency arrested Sisodia on February 26 for allegedly not cooperating in the investigation into the Delhi excise policy case and being evasive on questions from investigators. A special CBI court on Saturday extended the custody of Sisodia till March 6. On February 28, Sisodia resigned from the Arvind Kejriwal-led cabinet. According to officials, the agency wants to utilise Sisodia’s custody to locate the crucial missing file containing legal opinions on the expert committee recommendations on the excise policy, which remains untraceable even now. ”Manish Sisodia is being tortured by the CBI and being pressured to sign the documents containing false charges framed against him. CBI has no evidence against Sisodia. They never mentioned any evidence is missing. They raided his residence but found nothing,” Bhardwaj told reporters here on Sunday.
