संजय सिंह की गिरफ़्तारी बिलकुल ग़ैर क़ानूनी है। ये मोदी जी की बौखलाहट दर्शाता है। चुनाव तक ये कई और विपक्षी नेताओं को गिरफ़्तार करेंगे।

Sanjay Singh's arrest weakens the AAP, which is led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and has already seen Manish Sisodia and Satyander Jain imprisoned.
Prior to Singh's arrest, ED agents questioned members of his staff and others connected to the 51-year-old Rajya Sabha MP.
Sanjay Singh's name appeared in the ED's charge sheet, which detailed his alleged involvement with a middleman named Dinesh Arora. Arora claimed to have met Singh at an event at Unplugged Courtyard, his restaurant. According to the charge sheet, in 2020, Singh allegedly asked Arora to assist restaurant owners in raising funds for the Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi assembly election campaign, which resulted in an 82 lakh cheque being issued for this purpose.

The Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which granted liquor traders licences, was accused of allowing cartelization and favouring certain dealers who allegedly paid bribes for it. The AAP categorically denied this charge. The policy was later repealed, and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi recommended a CBI investigation. In response, the ED opened an investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
