Delhi court extends judicial custody of AAP leader Sanjay Singh
New Delhi/IBNS/UNI: A Delhi special court Monday extended the judicial custody of Rajya Sabha MP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh till December 21 in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case related to the alleged excise policy scam in the national capital.
The court adjourned the hearing on Singh's bail plea and it will be taken up on Tuesday.
Special Judge MK Nagpal after hearing the submissions extended Singh's judicial custody by ten days.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has alleged that Singh and his associates played a part in the Delhi government's decision to give licenses to alcohol shops and merchants in 2020, causing losses to the state exchequer and violating anti-corruption laws.
Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on October 4 and is presently in judicial custody at Tihar Jail.
The ED after conducting an investigation filed a supplementary chargesheet on Dec 2 against Singh and his alleged associate Sarvesh Mishra.
