Sisodia, who the ED arrested in February last year, was granted bail by the Supreme Court last month.
Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Sunday said that during his arrest in the Delhi liquor policy ‘scam,’ the ED froze his bank account, forcing him to ‘beg’ for his son’s college fees.
It was in 2002 when, as a journalist, I had purchased a flat worth ₹five lakh-it was taken away. Ten lakh rupees were in my account; it was all taken away too.
I needed to beg people to get money for my son’s fees. I had to inform people that the ED has frozen my bank account, Sisodia said at ‘Janta Ki Adalat,’ organized by AAP chief and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court recently in the same case.
Sisodia was arrested by the ED in February 2023; the apex court granted him bail in August this year.
Meanwhile, on Sunday’s program, he said that his relationship with Kejriwal was that of ‘Ram and Laxman.’
“I got offers to switch to the BJP. I was told to think about myself, my ailing wife, and my son. I told them (BJP), ‘You are trying to separate Laxman from Ram. No Raavan has the power to do that,’ he remarked.
