A city court on Friday reserved its order on Enforcement Directorate’s plea seeking 10-day custody of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, arrested in a money laundering case related to the excise policy.

ED’s counsel Zoheb Hossain also claimed before a special court that Sisodia destroyed his phone, an important piece of evidence in the investigation.
