क्या पुलिस को इस तरह मनीष जी के साथ दुर्व्यवहार करने का अधिकार है? क्या पुलिस को ऐसा करने के लिए ऊपर से कहा गया है? https://t.co/izPacU6SHI

राउज एवेन्यू कोर्ट में पेशी के समय श्री मनीष सिसोदिया के साथ पुलिस दुर्व्यवहार की बात दुष्प्रचार है।

वीडियो में प्रचारित पुलिस की प्रतिक्रिया सुरक्षा की दृष्टि से अनिवार्य थी।

“The police action shown in the video was necessary for security. It is against the law for any accused to give statements to the media,” the police said in the tweet.

According to media reports, Manish Sisodia demanded a table, chair and some books during the hearing, which was accepted by the court. Actually, Sisodia’s judicial custody was to end today in the excise scam case, for which he was produced today.
