Jailed AAP Leader Sanjay Singh Files Rajya Sabha Nomination

AAP MP Sanjay Singh has filed his nomination for the forthcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh has filed his nomination for the forthcoming Rajya Sabha elections after Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court allowed him to sign his re-nomination papers at Rajya Sabha in person amid tight security arrangements, news agency ANI reported on Monday.

Last week on Friday, the AAP's Political Affairs Committee had decided to continue with Sanjay Singh and ND Gupta for their respective 2nd terms as MP in the Upper House. The Rayjya Sabha elections will take place on January 19.

Singh was allowed by a Delhi Court to sign documents for his Rajya Sabha re-nomination, as his current term is set to end on January 27.

The AAP leader was nominated by the party ahead of the end of his current term.

In this regard, an application was moved in Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court for permission to take signatures of Singh on an 'Undertaking' which is stated to be required in connection with getting a 'No Dues Certificate' for the applicant (Sanjay Singh) from Rajya Sabha. On Thursday, Singh moved Delhi High Court seeking bail in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy case.

Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in Delhi excise policy case on October 4 last year. On December 22 last year, the trial court dismissed his bail and said, "The Court is of prima facie view that the case against him is genuine. Evidence shows his involvement in the alleged offence of money laundering. There are reasonable grounds for believing that he is guilty of the alleged offence of money laundering," as quoted by ANI.
