Sanjay Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP, had been apprehended by the anti-money laundering agency on October 4. The Enforcement Directorate has leveled allegations that Singh played a pivotal role in devising and implementing a now-abandoned policy that extended financial advantages to particular liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in exchange for monetary considerations.
Singh stands accused by the ED of playing a pivotal role in creating and executing the now-defunct liquor policy. The AAP-led Delhi government revoked the policy following a CBI probe ordered by L-G Anil Saxena. Allegedly, the policy favored certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, potentially at the expense of the public exchequer, and in exchange for illicit gains.
On October 10, a trial court extended Singh's custody with the Enforcement Directorate until October 13. Subsequently, Singh filed a petition with the Delhi High Court to contest his arrest. Meanwhile, AAP supporters staged protests near the BJP headquarters in the national capital against Singh's detention.
