The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday arrested Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia in connection with the liquor policy scam.

Earlier in the day, Sisodia had reached the CBI office for questioning into the Delhi Excise Policy case.

Ahead of his questioning by the Central agency, security personnel were deployed outside Sisodia’s residence as many Aam Aadmi Party supporters had gathered outside the house of the Delhi’s Deputy CM.

Sisodia held a road show along with his supporters and even visited Rajghat before heading to the CBI headquarters.

Several AAP leaders alleged that they were put under house arrest till Sisodia’s questioning was completed.

CBI said it has arrested Sisodia on the basis of some documents and digital evidence.

The Central agency said Sisodia would be produced before the court on Monday.

CBI further said that it has also arrested the AAP leader for destruction of evidence.
