Former deputy chief minister of Delhi and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on Saturday reached his residence to meet his ailing wife Seema.
He was granted permission by a Delhi court on Friday to meet his wife between 10 am and 5 pm, in the presence of security. He is currently under judicial custody lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with a case related to the alleged excise policy scam.
Sisodia had earlier sought permission to visit his wife for five days. According to the application, his wife suffered an acute attack of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune condition of the central nervous system. Granting permission to meet only for seven hours, Delhi Rouse Avenue Court ordered Sisodia not to engage with the media and to refrain from indulging in any political activity.
Sisodia was earlier allowed to meet his wife in June, however, he couldn’t meet her as she was hospitalized after a sudden deterioration in her condition.
He was holding the portfolio of the excise department along with being the deputy CM before he was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in February, followed by another arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), both in two different cases related to the alleged liquor policy scam.
The ED in its chargesheet has alleged that proceeds of crime of around ₹622 crore have been generated due to the activities of the present accused Manish Sisodia.
