Delhi Court To Pronounce Verdict On AAP MP Sanjay Singh's Bail Plea In Excise 'Scam' Case On Friday
A Delhi court on Thursday said that it will pronounce its judgement on Friday on the bail plea of AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh in connection with a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam.
Special Judge M.K. Nagpal of Rouse Avenue Court had reserved his verdict on December 12.
During the proceedings, senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Singh, argued that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had not questioned Singh before his arrest.
He also cited contradictions in the statements of accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and other witnesses.
The ED opposed the bail application, citing the ongoing investigation and expressing concerns that Singh's release could potentially obstruct the investigation, tamper with evidence, and influence witnesses.
The anti-money laundering agency had arrested Singh on October 4.
