Sisodia to be quizzed today

New Delhi, May 24

Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Manish Sisodia will be quizzed tomorrow as he agreed to join the investigation in the Chief Secretary (CS) assault case, police said today. Sisodia was yesterday sent a notice to join the probe, days after Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was questioned on Friday for over three hours in connection with the matter.

In a reply to the Delhi Police, Sisodia said that he will be joining the investigation on Friday at 4.30 pm, they said, adding the proceedings will be video recorded, they said.

Police will visit Sisodia's residence at Mathura Road tomorrow, a senior police official said.

"You (Sisodia) are required to attend investigation and be available at your residence/office on May 25 at 11 am. In the event, such timing is not convenient to you due to official exigencies, kindly intimate an alternate time," the notice had said.

CS Anshu Prakash was allegedly attacked in a meeting at Kejriwal's official residence on February 19. Police said the CM and the Deputy CM were present when the alleged assault took place.

The police have already questioned Kejriwal's former advisor VK Jain, Kejriwal's private secretary Bibhav Kumar, party volunteer Vivek Kumar and 11 AAP MLAs present at the CM's residence for the meeting.  — TNS
