CBI is forcing Manish Sisodia to sign papers with false charges: AAP
The HinduThe Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday claimed the Central Bureau of Investigation was “mentally torturing” senior party leader Manish Sisodia, arrested in a corruption case related to the now-scrapped excise policy, and pressuring him to sign papers containing false charges. Mr. Sisodia on Saturday had also informed the court through his lawyer that he was being tortured with prolonged questioning.” On Saturday, a Delhi court extended Mr. Sisodia’s CBI custody by two days. Senior AAP leader and MLA Atishi said the CBI had failed to prove any corruption charges against Mr. Sisodia and was therefore trying to extract a confession to please their political bosses in the BJP. AAP shaken Reacting to the allegations, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that Mr. Sisodia’s arrest has “shaken the entire AAP”, which is now trying to portray him as a “political victim”.
