AAP’s Sanjay Singh Moves Delhi High Court Seeking Bail in Money Laundering Case
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh has approached the Delhi High Court seeking bail in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam. This move comes after a previous dismissal of his bail plea by Special Judge M.K. Nagpal in late December. The judge had cited evidence of Singh’s involvement in money laundering and reasonable grounds to believe in his guilt based on the connection to proceeds of crime from scheduled offenses investigated by the CBI.
The court also rejected arguments regarding the absence of recovery during proceedings and addressed concerns related to approver coercion. Singh’s counsel had emphasized the finality of the supplementary charge sheet, while the ED expressed concerns that his release could obstruct the investigation and influence witnesses. Singh was arrested on October 4 after searches at his residence in the North Avenue area.
