Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh has moved the Delhi High Court challenging his bail rejection in the money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A Delhi court on December 22 had rejected the bail application of the AAP leader.
During the hearing at the trial court, senior advocate Mohit Mathur, appearing for Singh, had told the judge that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had not called him for questioning even once before he was arrested and claimed there were contradictions in the statements of accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and other witnesses.
The ED had opposed the application, claiming the probe was still underway and, if released on bail, Singh could hamper the investigation, tamper with evidence, and influence the witnesses.
Singh was arrested by the ED on October 4 in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the 2021-22 Delhi Excise policy case.
The federal agency alleged that Singh had played a crucial role in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped excise policy, which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, for monetary considerations.
