Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has granted permission to AAP MP Sanjay Singh, who is detained in connection with a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise scam, to sign forms and documents for his Rajya Sabha renomination.
Special Judge M K Nagpal passed the order in response to an application filed by the politician. Singh stated that his current term as a Rajya Sabha member is concluding on January 27, and the Returning Officer issued a notice on January 2, scheduling the election with nominations due by January 9.
The application sought an instruction to the Tihar Jail Superintendent to allow Singh to affix his signature to the documents. The judge stated, “It is being directed that if the documents are presented by counsel for accused before jail authorities on January 6, 2024, the jail superintendent shall ensure that the signatures of the accused are permitted to be taken on said documents and he is also permitted to meet his Counsel for half-an-hour to discuss the modalities in connection with filing of the said nomination.”
Singh was arrested by the anti-money laundering agency on October 4, 2023.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleges that Singh played a pivotal role in the formulation and implementation of the now scrapped excise policy, benefiting specific liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, in exchange for monetary considerations. Singh has vehemently denied these allegations.
