Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister of Delhi and a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is expected to appear in court today. He was detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 after eight hours of questioning in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.

Today (Monday), Sisodia’s CBI custody ends, and according to official sources, the central investigation agency is not expected to request additional custody of the AAP leader. According to sources, the CBI would probably urge the court to place Sisodia under judicial custody.
