Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Friday rejected the bail application of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in connection with a money laundering case related to the purported Delhi excise policy scam.
Special Judge M K Nagpal dismissed the bail plea of Sanjay Singh.
The court had previously adjourned proceedings on Thursday and said that the verdict on Singh’s bail application would be delivered on December 22, 2023.
During the arguments on Singh’s bail application, his counsel contended that there were inconsistencies in the statements of accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and other witnesses regarding payments of bribes to Singh.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed Singh’s application, emphasizing that the investigation was still ongoing, and if granted bail, he could potentially impede the investigation, tamper with evidence, and influence witnesses.
Sanjay Singh was arrested by the anti-money laundering agency on October 4, 2023.
The ED alleges that Sanjay Singh played a pivotal role in formulating and executing the now-abandoned 2021-2022 excise policy, which purportedly favored certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in exchange for financial considerations.
Sanjay Singh has consistently refuted these allegations and asserted his innocence.
