Liquor Policy: Delhi Court Denies Bail To AAP MP Sanjay Singh In Money Laundering Case

A Delhi Court on Friday denied bail to Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh in the money laundering case related to the liquor policy scam.

Special CBI Judge MK Nagpal of Rouse Avenue Courts dismissed the bail plea moved by Singh, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on October 04.

The AAP leader was arrested after searches were conducted at his residence in the national capital. Singh is the third AAP leader to be arrested in the matter. He was sent to judicial custody on October 13.

The raids were conducted by ED at Singh's residence after he was named by businessman Dinesh Arora, accused in the case, who later turned approver in both ED and CBI cases.

ED has alleged that an employee of Dinesh Arora delivered Rs. 2 crores to Sanjay Singh's house on two occasions and the agency has to confront the AAP leader with digital evidence.

On October 24, the Delhi High Court dismissed Singh's plea challenging his arrest and remand in the money laundering case.

The court had said that ED cannot be expected to work as magicians and that it will take time to investigate a case and reach to the truth.

“Even if the investigating agency/ED is premier investigating agency, they cannot be expected to work as magicians and even if with the aid of technology and best investigative skills at their best are to be applied, it will still take time to investigate the case and try to reach the truth,” the court added.

Singh then moved the Supreme Court challenging his arrest. The said petition is pending adjudication before the Apex Court.
