Ahead of Manish Sisodia's questioning by CBI, Sanjay Singh claims AAP leaders being put under 'house arrest'

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged its leaders are being put under ‘house arrest,’ ahead of party leader and Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia's appearance before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the excise policy case.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh took to Twitter to make the startling claim.

“This is (prime minister Narendra) Modi's police…they may or may not be able to prevent crimes, but they are using all their power to arrest Manish Sisodia. AAP leaders are being put under house arrest. Why are you so scared of (chief minister) Arvind Kejriwal, Modi ji? You can do anything you want, but you will fail,” tweeted Singh.

He shared with his tweet an image of security personnel deployed outside what is presumably his residence.

Meanwhile, Sisodia, whose questioning by the CBI will begin at 11 am, tweeted he will ‘fully cooperate’ with the agency.

The 51-year-old politician, who has faced several rounds of questioning by the agency, was previously summoned for Feb 19. He, however, sought more time citing preparation of Delhi budget – he also holds the finance portfolio – a request which was accepted. He was then asked to appear on Feb 26.
