New Delhi, 8th Jan. The Delhi High Court on Monday sought a response from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding a bail plea made by AAP MP Sanjay Singh.
Singh was arrested in connection with a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy scam.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma has issued a notice to the investigating agency and has scheduled further hearings for January 29.
Singh, a member of the Rajya Sabha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on October 4 of last year. He is challenging a trial court’s decision on December 22 to dismiss his bail plea in the money laundering case.
Senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Singh, argued that his client has been in custody for the past three months and has not been implicated in the underlying offense.
The Probe Agency has accused Singh of playing a significant role in the creation and execution of the now-defunct excise policy, which provided financial benefits to specific liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers.
