New Delhi, November 11: Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, arrested in the Delhi Liquor policy case on March 9, has come out of Tihar jail on Saturday on a short furlough of six hours to meet his ailing wife. The Delhi Police brought the former Deputy Chief Minister to meet his wife as permitted by the Rouse Avenue court on Friday. Sisodia is meeting his wife at AB 17 Mathura Road, the premises which is currently officially allocated to Delhi Minister Atishi. The same premises were earlier allotted to Sisodia.

The police are not allowing any additional people to meet Sisodia and there is heavy deployment of police personnel even inside his residence.

His earlier bail applications were rejected by the High Court as well as the trial court. However, the High Court in June granted him permission to meet his wife in custody.
