Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia is being mentally tortured in the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation, the party has alleged. The CBI officers want him to sign a “false confession”, senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh told reporters today.
“We are going to make a disclosure. For the last six days, Manish Sisodia has been taken on CBI remand. We have got information that Manish Sisodia ji is being mentally tortured so that he would sign a false confession,” Mr Singh said at a press conference.
AAP has accused the BJP of attempting to sabotage the Delhi government’s work in the health and education sectors through the arrest of Mr Sisodia. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the alleged irregularities in the excise policy “is an excuse” and if Manish Sisodia joined the BJP, “he would be free by tomorrow”.
“Corruption is not the issue. The motive was to stop the good work done by the ministers,” Mr Kejriwal had said earlier this week.
