On Tuesday, a Delhi court concluded hearings and postponed its decision on the bail plea of AAP leader Sanjay Singh. The case pertains to alleged money laundering associated with the Delhi excise policy scam.

The bench headed by Judge MK Nagpal has decided to withhold his ruling until December 21.

During the proceedings, senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Singh, informed the judge that until October 4 when Singh was arrested, the Enforcement Directorate had not summoned the accused for questioning even once.

The legal representative argued that there existed inconsistencies within the statements provided by the accused-turned-approver, Dinesh Arora, and other witnesses. The counsel highlighted that Arora's statement was based on hearsay, raising doubts about its credibility. They emphasized Arora's status as a "tainted" witness and a "guilty accomplice," casting further doubt on the reliability of his testimony.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) objected to the bail request, asserting that the investigation was ongoing. They expressed concerns that Singh's release on bail might disrupt the inquiry, manipulate evidence, or influence witnesses. Simultaneously, the court instructed the ED to submit any written arguments within the next two days. Additionally, it mandated Singh's legal counsel to file a rejoinder within one day following the ED's submission.

Singh was taken into custody by the anti-money laundering agency on October 4. According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Singh is accused of having a pivotal role in designing and executing the now-defunct excise policy. The ED alleges that this policy favored specific liquor manufacturers and traders.
