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.

Asserting that the probe was still underway, and if he is released on bail, it could hamper the investigation, tamper with evidence and influence witnesses, ED claimed.
The anti-money laundering agency arrested Sanjay Singh on October 4. The ED alleged that Mr. Singh played a key role in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped 2021-2022 excise policy, which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, for monetary considerations.
