Sisodia was earlier arrested by the CBI in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
Sisodia was arrested on Sunday in an ongoing investigation of a case related to alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the new excise policy of the Delhi government.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court refused to entertain Sisodia's plea challenging his arrest in the excise policy case.
Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Monday sent him to CBI custody for five days.
The CBI had also quizzed AAP leader Jain in Tihar Jail in connection with alleged corruption in the implementation of the now-junked Delhi Excise policy.
Jain is currently lodged in judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Recently, the CBI and ED made several arrests for alleged corruption in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy.
