"Had To Beg To Pay Son's Fees": Manish Sisodia Recounts Time After Arrest

Manish Sisodia was in jail for nearly one-and-a-half years before he was granted bail last month

Manish Sisodia, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi's former deputy Chief Minister, said attempts were made to turn him against Chief Minister and party colleague Arvind Kejriwal following his arrest in a corruption case linked to the national capital's now-scrapped liquor policy.

"They tried to break me. I was told that Arvind Kejriwal had framed me. They told the court that Arvind Kejriwal named Manish Sisodia. I was told in the jail, 'name Kejriwal, you will be saved'," Mr Sisodia said at a party event called Janata ki Adalat (people's court).
