Shillong, March 10: A day after he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate Trouble has mounted for former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia in the alleged Excise scam as the central agency has sought his 10-day remand.

The ED had arrested Sisodia on Thursday day after he was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on charges of money laundering. ED had recorded his statement on March 7.

Sisodia is charged with a scam in Delhi Excise policy by the CBI and ED. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that the BJP led central government was using agencies against the opposition leaders to silence them.
