After leaving from his residence, Sisodia, whose questioning by the CBI is scheduled to begin at 11 am, took a detour to Mahatma Gandhi's memorial Rajghat, instead of going directly to the probe agency's headquarters in the national capital.

The senior AAP leader's latest appearance before the agency will take place exactly a week after he was originally asked to appear. However, the 51-year-old politician, who also holds the finance portfolio, sought more time citing preparation of Delhi budget. His requested was accepted, and he was asked to come on Feb 26 instead.
