A big blow to Manish Sisodia, the High Court made a strong comment while rejecting the bail petition

Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia did not get relief from the High Court and Rouse Avenue Court in the money laundering case related to the liquor scam.

Liberal party spokesman Parker Lund says the language was auto-populated, and is standard language for events posted on their website. He bl
