Court Rejects AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s Bail Plea in Delhi Liquor Policy PMLA Case

Sanjay Singh, a member of the Rajya Sabha for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), had his bail application in the money laundering case rejected by a Rouse Avenue court on Friday, according to news agency ANI. This comes after a Delhi court on Thursday extended the Rajya Sabha member’s judicial custody until December 23 about a money laundering case involving the now-scrapped excise policy.

According to news agency, special Judge M K Nagpal extended Singh’s judicial custody on Thursday and ordered the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to give the accused a copy of its fifth supplemental charge sheet and any supporting documentation.

Citing an ongoing matter concerning the identity of one prosecution witness, identified as “Alpha” in the supplemental complaint, the ED’s attorney asked for more time to provide the prosecution complaint and earlier complaints. The court ordered that Singh’s attorney receive copies of all prior charge sheets, pertinent records, and the fifth prosecution complaint under pseudonymous names by December 23. The next hearing has been set for January 10; Singh will remain under judicial custody until then.

According to report, Singh’s senior attorney, Mohit Mathur, contended that since the supplementary charge sheet against him had been filed, there was a degree of finality regarding the evidence collection, which served as the foundation for granting bail. Mathur further noted that Singh was not charged with a crime or an accused in the underlying offence under investigation by the CBI.

Singh had appealed his arrest and remand to the Delhi High Court, but he was not granted relief. He then challenged the High Court’s ruling upholding the ED’s remand and arrest of him in an appeal to the Supreme Court. When he said in court on October 13 that the ED was now a “entertainment department,” the judge warned him not to bring up irrelevant topics.

On October 4, Singh was taken into custody by the financial investigation team following searches at his North Avenue home.
