Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gautam Gambhir on Monday trained guns on former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia who was refused interim bail by Delhi High Court. "I think what's happening with Manish Sisodia, he deserves every bit of it," said the former cricketer after Sisodia did not get interim bail in connection with the alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy

“It’s an open and shut case. They have only extorted money out of that excise policy during covid,” alleged the BJP MP. 

“The way they increased commission from 2 to 12 per cent was to gain money and probably fight elections in Punjab which they successfully did,” he added.

“What’s happening to Manish Sisodia, I think he deserves every bit of it because if you have done corruption, the only place you deserve is where you are at the moment,” Gambhir said. 

The Delhi High Court on Monday rejected the AAP leader’s plea seeking interim bail for six weeks but allowed him to meet his ailing wife. The case in question relates to money laundering arising from the alleged excise policy scam. 

Sisodia, who was arrested on March 9, has sought release on a temporary basis on the ground of being the only caretaker of his ailing wife. His plea for regular bail in the matter is pending before the high court.

The court observed that the allegations against the former Delhi health and excise minister are extremely serious in nature and that it cannot forget the positions held by him, Live Law reported. It also noted that the AAP leader might tamper with evidence or influence witnesses if released on bail. 

Manish Sisodia has been granted permission to visit his residence or the hospital to meet his wife for one day at her convenience between 10 am and 5 pm after the AAP leader couldn't meet her on Sunday.
