Sisodia visit home for Ailing Wife

Ex-Deputy CM Granted Temporary Release from Jail

Manish Sisodia, the ex-Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, returned to his home from Tihar Jail on Saturday. He received permission from a city court to visit his unwell wife.

While in custody due to his involvement in an alleged liquor scam case, Sisodia was granted a six-hour window, from 10 am to 4 pm, to visit his wife.

Accompanied by police personnel, Sisodia arrived at his residence on Mathura Road in a prison van around 10 am.

In June, the Delhi High Court had granted Sisodia permission to meet his wife, Seema, who is battling multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, their meeting did not take place as she was hospitalized due to a sudden deterioration in her condition.

When allowing Sisodia to visit his wife, the court instructed him to refrain from engaging with the media or participating in any political activities.

As a senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Sisodia served as the Deputy Chief Minister and held multiple portfolios, including the Excise Department, in the Arvind Kejriwal government. His arrest by the CBI took place in February.

Upon his arrest, Sisodia resigned from the position of Deputy Chief Minister and various ministerial roles. Despite this, his family continued to reside at his former official residence on Mathura Road, sharing the space with Education Minister Atishi.

The Supreme Court recently rejected Sisodia's bail application in the case related to him.
