Delhi Liquor scam case: Sanjay Singh of the AAP moves Delhi HC challenging his arrest, ED remand

Sanjay Singh, an Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP, moved the Delhi High Court on Friday to appeal his arrest in the Delhi Liquor Scam case, as well as the trial court’s remand.
After Sanjay Singh’s lawyer brought the case before the bench led by the Chief Justice of Delhi, the court consented to hear it today.
On October 10, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court extended the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) remand by three days until October 13. After five days in ED custody in the Delhi Excise policy money laundering case, he was later brought in court.

Earlier, the ED’s counsel said that a bribe was demanded to clear the liquor licenses. The ED’s Special Counsel further stated that a businessman’s statement was recorded throughout the investigation. In Chandigarh, several searches have been done.
During the hearing, the ED stated that it had taped a businessman’s statement but could not reveal the content of the statement. The ED further stated that a bribe was demanded in order to clear the liquor licenses.
The ED also stated that Sarvesh Mishra, a suspected associate of Sanjay Singh, was not cooperating in the inquiry and had been summoned for interrogation a second time.
