What happened in court?

Three lawyers were present in the court on behalf of Sisodia
Manish Sisodia's lawyer Dayan Krishna said that Sisodia appeared before the CBI on every notice. Three lawyers were present on behalf of Sisodia in the court. After completion of the hearing, the Rouse Avenue Court reserved the decision for some time on Manish Sisodia's demand for CBI's remand.

CBI officers were against Manish's arrest: Kejriwal
At the same time, leaders of all opposition parties, including the convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, have also opposed the arrest of Manish Sisodia. On Monday, CM Kejriwal tweeted, "I am told that most CBI officers were against Manish's arrest. Everyone has a lot of respect for him and there is no evidence against him, but the political pressure to arrest him was so great that They had to arrest him."
BJP-Congress targeted Sisodia
On the other hand, BJP taunted AAP and Manish Sisodia and said that the party is presenting them as poor. Apart from this, Delhi Congress President Anil Chaudhary welcomed the decision to arrest Manish Sisodia.
Three more people have been arrested in the Delhi Excise case
Significantly, in the case of the withdrawn excise policy of the Delhi government, the CBI made the fourth arrest on Sunday. Earlier Vijay Nair, Sameer Mahendru and Abhishek Boinapalli have been arrested. In this whole matter, on the one hand, the Aam Aadmi Party claims that the central government agencies are being misused. On the other hand, the BJP alleges that the friends of the leaders were benefited through the excise policy of the AAP government.
