The court on Monday extended his judicial custody till July 22 in a corruption case related to the Excise policy scam.

The problems of Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia, who is in jail in the alleged money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor scam, are not ending. After the Supreme Court, now Sisodia has also received a setback from the Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi.

The court on Monday extended his judicial custody till July 22 in a corruption case related to the Excise policy scam. Sisodia was produced before the court through video conferencing after his judicial custody expired.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) has given this decision. Before this, a hearing was to be held on July 11 in the Supreme Court on their petition. But a bench judge recused himself from the case.

Earlier, Delhi's Rouse Avenue court had on April 30 rejected Sisodia's bail pleas in corruption and money laundering cases filed by the CBI and ED in connection with the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.

The court reserved the verdict after hearing the arguments of the CBI and ED as well as the lawyers appearing on behalf of Sisodia.
