Manish Sisodia, arrested on Sunday, will be in CBI custody till March 4 for questioning over alleged corruption in the liquor policy case.

Widely seen as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's No 2, there are no sartorial restrictions on Manish Sisodia while in custody. He can receive clothes from home, say CBI rules.

If he gets court permission, the former Delhi education minister can have home-cooked meals.

Since Mr Sisodia's arrest, AAP has been flagging a conspiracy theory, alleging that BJP has unleashed the Central agencies on their leaders to trash Mr Sisodia's achievements and undo the work by the Delhi government.

Mr Kejriwal today said despite the BJP allegations, the Central agencies have been unable to find any money in Mr Sisodia's house or his bank accounts. The liquor scam, he declared, "is an excuse" and if Manish Sisodia joins the BJP, "he would be free by tomorrow".
