The Aam Aadmi Party has renominated Sanjay Singh, arrested in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy ‘scam’, as Rajya Sabha MP, reports PTI.
The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi allowed him to sign forms and documents for his Rajya Sabha re-nomination.
The application has sought a direction to the Superintendent of Tihar jail to allow Singh to sign the documents.
“It is being directed that if the documents are presented by counsel for accused before jail authorities on January 6, 2024, the jail superintendent shall ensure that the signatures of the accused are permitted to be taken on said documents and he is also permitted to meet his Counsel for half-an-hour to discuss the modalities in connection with filing of the said nomination,” the judge said in an order passed on Thursday, as quoted by PTI.
Singh was arrested on October 4 following 10 hours of searches at his North Avenue home in connection with the now-scrapped liquor policy. He became the third leader, along with former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia and party’s communication in-charge Vijay Nair, to be arrested in the case.
The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that Singh ensured charges were made in the excise policy through Sisodia to favour certain businessmen.
Calling Singh as the “key conspirator”, the ED had said in its remand application, ““Sanjay Singh has exploited and gained illegal money/kickbacks, which is ‘proceeds of crime’ generated from the liquor policy (2021-22) scam… (he) has been part of the conspiracy of collecting kickbacks from liquor groups… (he) has a close relationship with Dinesh Arora since 2017 as revealed by Dinesh Arora as well as from his call records.”
On December 22, Singh’s bail plea was rejected by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court noting that the court was of “prima facie view that the case against (the) applicant is genuine”.
