Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will be quizzed on Friday by the Delhi Police in the alleged assault case of Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.

Sisodia was on Wednesday sent a notice to join the investigation after which he informed the police that he was ready to join the probe in the case.

In response to the notice of the Delhi Police, the Dy CM said that he will be joining the investigation on Friday at 4.30 pm. Police said the proceedings will be video recorded. A Delhi Police team will visit Sisodia's residence at Mathura Road on Friday, a senior police official said. "You (Sisodia) are required to attend investigation and be available at your residence/office on May 25 at 11 am. In the event, such timing is not convenient to you due to official exigencies, kindly intimate an alternate time," the notice had said.

The development comes days after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned by the police for over three hours in connection with the assault case.

Prakash was allegedly attacked during a meeting at Kejriwal's official residence on February 19. Police said the chief minister and the deputy chief minister were present when the alleged assault took place.

The police have already questioned 11 AAP MLAs present at the chief minister's residence for the meeting. Two of the party MLAs -- Amantullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal -- were arrested in the case.

Last month, Kejriwal's private secretary Bibhav Kumar and party volunteer Vivek Kumar were also questioned in connection with the case. Kejriwal, his former advisor VK Jain and Sisodia were also present in the meeting. Jain was also questioned in the case. On February 23, a police team had examined the CCTV system installed at the chief minister's residence in the Civil Lines area and seized the hard disk. The forensic report on the hard disk is still awaited.
