The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has been sent to 14 days of judicial custody by a Delhi court in the money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy.
The AAP leader was remanded judicial custody by the special judge MK Nagpal after his police custody ended today.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh had approached the Delhi High Court today morning challenging his arrest in the Delhi Excise Policy scam case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The counsel of Sanjay Singh mentioned the matter before a Bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula.
He said the AAP leader was not served the grounds of his arrest properly. The Court had assured that the matter would be listed on today only.
A Delhi court on Thursday remanded Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh to Enforcement Directorate custody till October 10 in Delhi Excise Policy case.
The order was passed by Special Judge MK Nagpal on a petition filed by the national agency seeking 10 days custody of Singh.
The AAP leader was arrested by the ED on Wednesday after raids at his residence.
Special Counsel Zoheb Hossain, representing ED, argued that an amount of about Rs two crore was exchanged at Singh’s residence.
He said the same was confirmed by Dinesh Arora’s CA after search at 239 places.
The national agency said it needed custody of Singh to confront him with digital evidence, including evidence from his phone.
Senior Advocate Mohit Mathur, appearing for Singh, opposed the 10 days’ remand on the grounds that it was an absurd proposition for someone who was not involved at all.
