The agency had detained Sisodia on Thursday on suspicion of money laundering in relation to alleged anomalies in the now-cancelled Delhi Excise Policy.
Sisodia was already detained in Tihar jail when a CBI court on March 6 sentenced him to 14 days of judicial detention. The developments happened after he was accused of engaging in corruption during the creation and implementation of the excise policy for 2021–2022.
