Excise Policy: AAP Leader Sanjay Singh Petitions Delhi HC Against Arrest in Money Laundering Case
GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 13th Oct. The Delhi High Court agreed on Friday to hear during the day a petition by AAP leader Sanjay Singh challenging his arrest in a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities in the scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The counsel for the Rajya Sabha MP requested an immediate hearing before a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula.
According to Singh’s counsel, valid grounds for arrest were not given to him.
“Alright,” the court replied.
On October 10, a trial court judge ordered Singh, who had been arrested earlier this month, to be held in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate until October 13.
The ED’s money laundering investigation is based on the CBI FIR.
According to the CBI and the ED, irregularities were perpetrated during the modification of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, and unfair advantages were offered to license holders.
The Delhi government enacted the excise policy on November 17, 2021, but it was revoked at the end of September 2022 amid corruption claims.
