On Monday, the Special Judge MK Nagpal sent Sisodia to judicial custody for 14 days after noting that CBI did not demand further custody of him at this time.
During the hearing, the CBI submitted that he has not supported the investigation, and the witnesses were terrified. On the last date, the court issued notice to CBI on bail moved by Sisodia and listed the matter for March 10.
After the court's order, party MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said, "Unless bail is decided, the court has no option but to extend judicial custody. Today, CBI had no questions for which they would've sought Manish Sisodia's interrogation. The bail hearing is on March 10 when it'll be decided if he gets bail or his custody is extended."
