A Delhi Court on Friday, 10 March, sent Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia to Enforcement Directorate remand till 17 March in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

The ED, which arrested Sisodia on 9 March, had sought his 10-day custody.

During the hearing on Friday, Sisodia's lawyer slammed the central agency for for considering arrest as a right without going through the due process of law.

"It has become a fashion these days that the agencies take arrests as a right. It's time for the courts to come down heavily on this sense of entitlement,"his lawyer Dayan Krishna said in the special court.
