Delhi Police was also swift to respond, "The talk of police misbehaviour with Mr Manish Sisodia at the time of production in Rouse Avenue Court is propaganda.

Sisodia was brought to the court on Tuesday where his judicial custody was extended till June 1. The judge also directed the jail authorities to consider providing the politician with a chair and a table along with books inside the prison.&nbsp;

As soon as the question was asked, the cops accompanying Sisodia gestured for the media to make way, while Sisodia said, “Modi ji has become very arrogant, does not respect democracy…” He was then held by a cop as he put his arm around his head in what looked like a stranglehold.&nbsp;
