ED Arrests AAP MP Sanjay Singh

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday after searching his residence in connection with money-laundering probe in the Delhi excise policy case.

ED alleged that Singh played a key role in formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped policy which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.

The probe agency arrested him under Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

AAP cried foul as the ED raided Singh’s residence earlier today.

“They have been probing the alleged liquor scam for the last year but nothing has been found yet. Nothing will be found at Sanjay Singh’s residence. When someone is staring at defeat, they resort to desperate measures. That is what is happening right now,” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said before his party colleague’s arrest, referring to BJP.

BJP, on the other hand, has maintained that Kejriwal is the ‘kingpin’ in the case.

“The public of the nation and Delhi has understood that if there’s a kingpin in the liquor scam it is Arvind Kejriwal on whose indications the liquor scam in Delhi took place. The accused (restaurateur) Dinesh Arora who is a businessman has accepted that at Delhi CM’s residence, the meeting was held,”, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told newspersons.

“On the indication of Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh said to give Rs 32 lakh to the ‘Paapi AAP Arajak Apradh Party’. An MP does ‘vasooli’ sitting at the CM’s residence. The 32 lakh was given through cheque. There could be crores of rupees and it has come across during the investigation.” he alleged.
