In the court, Sisodia’s lawyer argued that the ED has not mentioned any crime against the former deputy CM. What is the need for ED to inquire when CBI is already inquiring into the matter? Sisodia told the court that, during the last 7 Days of custody, CBI had questioned him for only one hour daily. He was questioned for a few hours only on Thursday.
