New Delhi, January 8
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought response of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a bail plea by AAP MP Sanjay Singh, arrested in a money-laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy ‘scam’.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice to the investigating agency and listed the matter for January 29.
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 ED has alleged that Singh played a key role in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped excise policy, which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, for monetary consideration.
