The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken a significant step in the Delhi excise policy case by filing its inaugural charge sheet against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament, Sanjay Singh. This move marks the fifth supplementary charge sheet in the ongoing investigation, with one additional accused named in the document.
Sanjay Singh, currently in Tihar jail since his arrest on October 4, is now facing charges under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED’s action comes as a result of alleged evidence linking Singh to the Delhi liquor policy case, wherein he is implicated as a key figure.
The excise policy case involves accusations against Singh, who is said to have accepted a bribe of ₹2 crore from accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora. The AAP leader was earlier identified as a central conspirator in the scam, with the ED emphasizing his close association with key individuals involved, including businessmen Dinesh Arora and Amit Arora.
In a statement issued after Singh’s arrest, the ED declared, “Sanjay Singh is a key conspirator in the Delhi liquor scam. He is closely associated with a number of accused and suspects, including Dinesh Arora and Amit Arora. Further, he has also played a role in conspiracy with others with respect to the excise policy 2020-21.” The filing of the charge sheet adds another layer to the ongoing legal proceedings in this high-profile case.
