Setback for Maish Sisodia: SC refuses to entertain Delhi Dy CM’s plea against his arrest by CBI

In a setback to Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, the Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain his plea against his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI has arrested him in the alleged liquor scam case. He challenged his arrest in the apex court, which today asked him to approach the Delhi High Court.

The top court said various legal remedies were available for Sisodia in various forums including a bail plea in Delhi HC. The SC said it can not interfere or intervene in the matter and that just because an incident happens in Delhi does not mean the matter will come to the top court.
