ED opposes Sisodia’s bail, says crucial evidence still being unearthed

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday opposed the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and said that the agency is in the process of gathering some fresh evidence as there is some crucial evidence that is still being unearthed.

ED lawyer further submitted that our investigation is not into the scheduled offence but is an investigation into the process of activity involved in the generation and use of proceeds of crime. Appearing for Manish Sisodia, Advocate Vivek Jain argued that no PMLA case has been made against him. “Section 45 of the PMLA would come against me only if an offence under Section 3 is made out,” Advocate Vivek Jain said.

“ED’s reply opposing my bail doesn’t even show I have concealed any proceeds of crime, acquired any proceeds of crime, or projected any proceeds of crime. Not a single rupee has come into my account or my family’s account. They have raided my home, and they have checked my bank accounts. They have even gone to my native place,” he argued.

The Special Judge MK Nagpal, after noting down the submissions, kept the matter for 12 April, 2023, for further arguments in the bail. Meanwhile, the Court also extended the judicial custody of Manish Sisodia in the ED excise case till 17 April, 2023.
