New Delhi: A Delhi court on Friday reserved order in Manish Sisodia's bail plea. The next hearing will be held on March 21.

The senior Aam Aadmi Party leader was lodged in Tihar Jail after being remanded to judicial custody and was grilled for 8 hours by the ED before arresting him.

Previously, the ED had questioned Sisodia about alleged kickbacks of Rs 100 crore from the South Group via the hawala channel.
