The NIA successfully deported Amritpal and Amrik from the Philippines during the course of the investigation, according to the spokesperson.

NEW DELHI: After obtaining permission from a city court, former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia arrived at his residence here on Saturday from Tihar Jail to see his ailing wife. Sisodia, who is being held in connection with the alleged liquor scam, was granted six hours in jail between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sisodia, accompanied by police officers, arrived at his home on Mathura Road around 10 a.m. in a prison van. The Delhi High Court also granted him permission to meet with his wife Seema, who has multiple sclerosis.He was unable to meet her because she was hospitalised due to a sudden deterioration in her condition. While allowing Sisodia to meet his wife, the court ordered him not to speak to the media or engage in any political activity. Before his arrest by the CBI in February, Sisodia was a senior AAP leader who served as deputy chief minister as well as holding various portfolios, including the Excise Department, in the Arvind Kejriwal government. After being arrested, he resigned as deputy CM and minister of various departments, but his family continued to live at his then-official residence on Mathura Road, which he shared with Education Minister Atishi. The Supreme Court recently denied Sisodia's bail application in the case.
