A Delhi court today dismissed the bail application of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Special Judge MK Nagpal rejected the bail plea of Mr Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP. The court’s detailed order is further awaited.
On Thursday the court adjourned its proceedings and said the verdict will be announced today.
During the arguments on Sanjay Singh’s bail application, his counsel said there were contradictions in the statements of accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and other witnesses about paying bribes to Mr Singh.

The anti-money laundering agency arrested Sanjay Singh on October 4.
