Manish Sisodia

The CBI on Sunday released a statement on Sisodia's arrests, claiming he was giving evasive replies and wasn't cooperating in the ongoing investigation in the liquor scam case. 

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) termed Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's arrest as a "black day for democracy" stating that the BJP has made this arrest due to political rivalry.

Many Twitter users wondered if Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on the crime of being 'handsome'

On last Sunday, Sisodia requested the central agency to defer questioning saying that he is "preparing the budget" at present and can only appear before it towards February-end.

In September 2015, the Kejriwal government established a Feedback Unit, an extra constitutional, and extra judicial intelligence agency which became operational in February 2016.

After the AAP took office in Delhi in 2015, the CBI claimed in its report that a spying unit led by Manish Sisodia had been established. The CBI report was deemed politically motivated by the AAP, who denied the accusations.

The CBI had sought sanction to register an FIR against Sisodia, who heads the Vigilance department of the Delhi government, under which the AAP government had in 2015 surreptitiously created the FBU- an Extra Constitutional-Extra Judicial Intelligence Agency to allegedly spy on different Ministries, Opposition political parties, entities and individuals.
