Excise policy scam | Delhi HC asks ED to respond to AAP MP Sanjay Singh's bail plea
The Hindu
AAP MP Sanjay Singh challenges trial court's dismissal of his bail plea in money laundering case related to Delhi excise policy 'scam'.
The Delhi High Court on January 8 sought response of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a bail plea by AAP MP Sanjay Singh, arrested in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy ‘scam’.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice to the investigating agency and listed the matter for further hearing on January 29.
The Rajya Sabha member, arrested by the ED on October 4 last year, has challenged a trial court’s December 22 order dismissing his bail plea in the money laundering case.
Senior advocate Mohit Mathur, appearing for Singh, submitted that the senior AAP leader has been in custody for the last three months and no role has been attributed to him in the predicate offence.
He said Mr. Singh was arrested after the ED’s “star witness” made a statement.
The ED has alleged that Mr. Singh played a key role in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped excise policy, which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, for monetary consideration.
The trial court had observed that he was connected with the “proceeds of crime to the extent of ₹2 crore” and the case against him was “genuine”.
