Modi ji’s hooliganism at its peak…
I can’t walk without a colleague, but the police surrounded my car from all sides and forcefully made my colleague get off the car. Policemen are taking me alone by entering my car.
Hooliganism has reached its limits but neither will we be afraid nor will we bow down.

Sisodia, accused number one in the CBI FIR, was earlier questioned on October 17 last year. A month later, on November 25, the CBI filed a charge sheet in the case. Sisodia was not named in the CBI chargesheet as the CBI investigation against him and other suspects and accused was ongoing at that time. (with agency inputs)
