The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to former Delhi deputy chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in the case related to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped 2021-22 excise policy. Sisodia was granted regular bail in both cases probed separately by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate, paving the way for his release from prison after 17 months.
The court directed Sisodia to furnish a bail bond of ₹10 lakh with two sureties, surrender his passport, and report twice a week on Monday and Thursday before the Investigating Officer. It said he shall not make any attempt to influence witnesses or tamper with evidence.
