Excise policy scam: AAP’s Sanjay Singh moves Delhi HC seeking bail in money laundering case

AAP MP Sanjay Singh, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy “scam”, has approached the Delhi High Court seeking bail. The bail plea is listed for hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Monday. The Rajya Sabha member, arrested by the ED on October 4 last year, has challenged a trial court’s December 22 order dismissing his bail plea in the money laundering case. The trial court had observed that he was connected with the “proceeds of crime to the extent of Rs 2 crore” and the case against him was “genuine”. The case pertains to alleged corruption in formulating and executing the city government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped.
