The ED did not oppose Singh’s bail application, hours after its counsel, Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, was reminded by the court that the “money has not been recovered” and he should “take instructions whether you really require him now after six months”.
Six months after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi excise policy case on the charge that Rs 2 crore illegal cash changed hands at his residence in New Delhi, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh was granted bail by the Supreme Court Tuesday.
The ED did not oppose Singh’s bail application, hours after its counsel, Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, was reminded by the court that the “money has not been recovered” and he should “take instructions whether you really require him now after six months”.
Singh was arrested on October 4, 2023 following a search of his North Avenue home. The ED alleged that businessman Dinesh Arora, an accused who later turned approver in the excise policy case, had given Rs 2 crore in cash to Singh.
