Delhi court rejects bail plea of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in money laundering case related to Delhi excise policy scam.
A Delhi court on Friday dismissed the bail application of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
Special Judge M K Nagpal rejected the bail plea of Mr. Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP.
A detailed order from the court is awaited.
Earlier on Thursday, the court had adjourned its proceedings and said it will pronounce the verdict on Mr. Singh's bail application on December 22.
During the arguments on Mr. Singh's bail application, his counsel had said there were contradictions in the statements of accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and other witnesses about paying bribes to Mr. Singh.
The ED had opposed Mr. Singh's application, asserting the probe was still underway and, if released on bail, he could hamper the investigation, tamper with evidence, and influence the witnesses.
