New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday arrested AAP leader and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on money laundering charges in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy, official sources said.

Sisodia is currently lodged in judicial custody after the CBI arrested him on February 26 in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor or excise policy for 2021-22. The first round of Sisodia's questioning by the ED took place on March 7.

It is learnt that he will hold a meeting with state leaders at the airport. According to sources. He is scheduled to attend the CISF passing-out parade on Sunday.
