Hearing on bail in CBI case going on in High Court
During the Delhi High Court hearing on bail in the CBI case, the bench told the CBI that if you have the evidence on which you trust, show it to us as well. The ASG had argued on behalf of the CBI that Sisodia was capable of pressurizing people. The day he was arrested, he broke his phone.

On this, the court asked for proof – do you have proof? We cannot go into much detail in the phase of bail. You show the evidence that you are relying on yourself.
