NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday is expected to question and record the statement of former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia as part of its money-laundering probe into alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy, official sources said.
The federal probe agency also made a fresh arrest in the case as it took into custody Hyderabad-based liquor businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai, they said.
Officials of the ED will reach the Tihar Jail around noon to record the statement of Sisodia under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Sisodia was arrested by the CBI in the case last month and he is currently in judicial custody.
Pillai was taken into custody under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on Monday evening following a long session of questioning.
