Jailed Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia could not meet his sick wife today after her health worsened, according to the sources.
On Friday, the Delhi High Court allowed the leader to meet his ailing wife, who is suffering from an autoimmune disorder, multiple sclerosis, between 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday.
However, before he could reach his home, the ex-deputy chief minister’s wife’s health deteriorated and she had to be taken to a hospital immediately, sources said.
The AAP leader, widely seen to be Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s number two in the party, had sought bail citing his wife’s health.
The court reserved its order on a separate regular bail request by Manish Sisodia.
Earlier this month, the Delhi HC directed the Tihar jail superintendent to allow video calls between AAP leader, Sisodia and his ailing wife for an hour every alternate day.
Delhi High Court on Monday rejected bail to former deputy chief minister Sisodia, saying allegations against him linked to the Delhi liquor policy case were serious.

Taking notes from Sisodia’s arrest, he was first arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26, more than six months after a case was filed into the matter.
On March 9, the Enforcement Directorate arrested him in the same case, after hours of questioning at Tihar jail.
The Delhi government implemented the liquor policy in November 2021 but scrapped it at the end of September 2022 amid allegations of corruption.
