After 6 months, AAP leader Sanjay Singh is released from jail on bail.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh
On October 4, 2023, Singh was arrested in connection with a money laundering case relating to the Delhi excise policy. The case includes accusations of payments given to liquor merchants.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh left Delhi’s Tihar Jail on Wednesday, over six months after his incarceration. The event occurred one day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) declined to oppose his bail request, which led to the Supreme Court granting him bail in a money laundering case involving the Delhi liquor scam.
At ten in the morning today, the bail deposit procedure was finished, allowing Sanjay Singh to be released. The court allowed him to carry out his political activities by specifying that his release would be contingent upon the terms and conditions determined by the trial court.
Sanjay Singh is anticipated to be greeted by staff members at the Aam Aadmi Party headquarters, where he will kick off his Lok Sabha campaign, upon his release. Interestingly, his campaign would draw attention to Arvind Kejriwal’s imprisonment, highlighting the political backdrop of the eagerly expected elections.
Sanjay Singh’s bail should not be a precedent, the Supreme Court ruled in a ruling delivered by a bench made up of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta, and PB Varale. In addition, the court upheld his freedom to participate in politics while the case is still pending.
In response to Singh’s release on bond, AAP leader Somnath Bharti said that the “federal agency had been exposed”. Atishi Marlena, a minister in Delhi, stated, “Satyamev Jayate.”
Following a Delhi court’s order to remand Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to judicial detention till April 15 in connection with the liquorgate controversy, Sanjay Singh was released. The judicial processes were made more complex when it was revealed by the Enforcement Directorate that Kejriwal had named other ministers in the AAP in his statement.
