A Delhi Court on Tuesday dismissed the second regular bail pleas filed by Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in the money laundering and corruption cases connected to the liquor policy case.

Advocate Vivek Jain appeared for Sisodia; Zoheb Hossain, special counsel for Enforcement Directorate (ED) and prosecutor Pankaj Gupta for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
