Delhi Excise Policy Case: ED Arrests AAP MP Sanjay Singh

The ED on Wednesday arrested Aam Admi Party MP Sanjay Singh in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-withdrawn new excise policy of Delhi.

It is the 2nd high-profile arrest in the case after former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.

However, the arrest came hours after the ED conducted raids at the residence of the AAP Rajya Sabha MP in connection with the case.

Earlier, in May, Sanjay Singh, in a letter to Finance Secretary TV Somanathan, stated the ED director and assistant director deliberately linked his name to the alleged liquor scam without any basis, tarnishing his public image and defaming him.

Singh mentioned that his name was added on the basis of statements from Dinesh Arora.

Furthermore, the AAP leader alleged that the officers misused their position to tarnish his public image and demanded prosecution against them.

Additionally, he stated that he already had send a legal notice to the officers concerned to issue an open and public apology.

According to ED sources, the name of the AAP leader appears 4 times in the ED chargesheet, one of which was typed inadvertently.

At one place Sanjay Singh’s name was mentioned instead of Rahul Singh, who was the then excise commissioner.
