New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has said that arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh is a key conspirator in the Delhi liquor policy scam and accepted Rs 2 crore as bribe.

The central probe agency told a local court that Singh received the bribe money through his aides from accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora and also played a role in extending favours under the policy which was subsequently scrapped, Hindustan Times reported.

ED further stated that there was evidence against Rajya Sabha member Singh in the form of call detail records (CDRs) which allegedly show delivery of cash at his residence twice.

The statements were part of submissions by ED’s special prosecutor NK Matta in the court of special judge MK Nagpal as the central agency sought a 10-day remand for the 51-year-old Singh to interrogate him and find out the modus operandi, money trail and associates or entities involved in alleged kickbacks.

Singh, who was arrested on Wednesday on charges of alleged financial irregularities in the liquor policy, was sent to ED custody till October 10.
