On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court'reserved order' on the bail plea of AAP MP Sanjay Singh, who is implicated in a money laundering case associated with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. 

After considering arguments from both parties, the bench, led by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, decided to reserve the order in the case.

Senior Advocate Mohit Mathur represented Singh, while Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju represented the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The ED argued in court on Tuesday that Singh was involved in setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to launder the "proceeds of crime" linked to an alleged liquor scam, which arose from modifications in the excise policy.

Sanjay Singh had filed a bail plea with the high court on January 4, subsequent to the rejection of his request by Special Judge M.K. Nagpal of Rouse Avenue Court on December 22. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) submitted an affidavit asserting Singh's direct participation in obtaining, concealing, and using the proceeds of the alleged crime. According to the financial probe agency, Singh collaborated with individuals such as Dinesh Arora and Amit Arora.

According to the agency, Singh played a crucial role in forming a special purpose vehicle, named M/s Aralias Hospitality Pvt Ltd, to launder the proceeds of crime generated through business activities influenced by the policy changes. The ED further claimed that Singh received illegal money or kickbacks from the alleged excise policy (2021–22) scam and was part of a broader conspiracy.

According to the investigation, it has been reported that Singh received Rs. 2 crore as the proceeds of the alleged crime.

The senior advocate representing Singh argued that his client had been in custody for three months without a clear attribution of a role in the predicate offence. Mathur highlighted that Singh's arrest was based on the statement of the Enforcement Directorate's "star witness."

Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on October 4 of the previous year, with allegations that he played a crucial role in formulating and implementing the now-scrapped excise policy. The ED claimed that this policy favored specific liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers for financial gain. Throughout the proceedings, Sanjay Singh consistently denied these allegations, maintaining his innocence in the matter.
