Special judge MK Nagpal sent Sisodia to judicial custody after noting that the CBI had not demanded further custody. However, the central agency may seek custody in the coming days if required.
Sisodia has applied for bail and his request will be taken up on Friday. He was arrested on February 26 and sent to CBI's custody for 5 days.
"Mental harassment"
Sisodia had alleged in the bail petition that CBI officials were asking him the same questions again and again and that was casuing him mental harassment.
The CBI, on its part, has claimed that Mr Sisodia had been uncooperative and evasive during the questioning.
