New Delhi, Aug 9: Manish Sisodia, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, filed his bail bond in Rouse Avenue Court today following his bail grant from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had earlier approved bail for Sisodia in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.
As per the Supreme Court’s order, Sisodia posted a bail bond of Rs. 10 lakhs with two sureties for each case involving the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Special Judge of the Rouse Avenue Court instructed that the order be sent to the jail authority through a special messenger. Sisodia is expected to be released from jail by this evening.
The apex court granted Sisodia bail on certain conditions. Manish Sisodia was also asked to furnish a bail bond of ₹10 lakh with two sureties. The apex court also ordered the former Delhi deputy CM to surrender his passport and report twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, before IO. He was also warned that any attempt to influence or tamper with evidence may land him in trouble.
In its order, the court refused to accept ED’s request to restrict him from visiting the secretariat or CM office, as had been imposed on Arvind Kejriwal while granting him bail.
