New Delhi, 10 November: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh, arrested in the Delhi Excise Scam case, by 14 days. Special Judge M.K. Nagpal gave this order.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Sanjay Singh on October 4, after questioning him at his official residence.
During his appearance in the court, Sanjay Singh said that there is a big conspiracy to implicate Arvind Kejriwal. Not just arrest, a big incident can happen to Kejriwal.
During the hearing, the lawyer appearing for the ED had said that the transaction of Rs 2 crore in two installments took place at Sanjay Singh’s house. This was confirmed by Dinesh Arora. Money transactions with Indosprit have also been mentioned in the ED’s application.
The ED says that money was given to Sanjay Singh’s employee Sarvesh at his house. On this, it was said on behalf of Sanjay Singh that ED is lying. The court had asked the ED whether the statements of Sanjay Singh’s employees had been recorded.
“When you had strong evidence against Sanjay Singh, then why did it take so much time to arrest him,” the court asked.
