Excise scam: Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singhs judicial custody extended till Feb 3

Excise scam: A Delhi court extended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia's judicial custody until February 3 in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam after they appeared via video conferencing from Tihar Jail.

The court also reserved its decision on Sarvesh Mishra's bail application, who is a close associate of Sanjay Singh and one of the accused in the case.

Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia were brought before the court via video conference after their judicial custody in the case expired.

The concerned official informed the court that the accused could not be physically produced due to security concerns and a lack of police personnel as a result of Republic Day preparation.

Special Judge M K Nagpal reserved an order on Mishra's bail application for January 24, after he appeared in court pursuant to the judge's summons.

The judge summoned Mishra after taking note of a charge sheet filed against him and Sanjay Singh.

In his application, the accused claimed that because he was not arrested during the ED investigation, it would serve no purpose to send him to jail after the charge sheet had already been filed by the central probe agency upon completion of the investigation.

The ED did not object to his bail application during the hearings.

The court also set January 24, 2024, as the date for the bail order of co-accused Amit Arora.
