The Delhi High Court on Monday sought response of the ED on a bail plea filed by AAP MP Sanjay Singh. Singh is under arrest in connection with a money laundering case related to the ‘scam’ associated with the Delhi excise policy.
A single bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued a notice to the investigating agency and scheduled the matter for further hearing on January 29, 2024.
The Rajya Sabha member, arrested by the ED on October 4 last year, is challenging a trial court’s decision on December 22, which rejected his bail plea in the money laundering case.
Senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Singh, argued that the senior AAP leader has been in custody for the past three months, and no role has been attributed to him in the predicate offence. The ED alleges that Singh played a significant role in the formulation and implementation of the now-abolished excise policy, benefiting certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in exchange for monetary consideration.
