Delhi Excise Policy Scam: AAP MP Sanjay Singh's Custody Extended Till 27 October

In a recent development, the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has been extended for 14 days in connection with the excise policy case, as reported by NDTV.

Singh's arrest marks the third high-profile apprehension linked to this case, with AAP's communication in-charge, Vijay Nair, arrested last September, and Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, apprehended in February this year, both of whom remain incarcerated.

A Delhi court, addressing the allegations related to the money laundering case concerning the Delhi excise scam, decided to keep AAP leader Sanjay Singh in judicial custody until 27 October.

Sanjay Singh, a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, was taken into custody by the anti-money laundering agency on 4 October.

This policy, as per the agency's claims, had offered financial benefits to specific liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers.

The excise policy case has raised considerable public interest and drawn attention due to its implications and the involvement of prominent political figures.

The successive arrests of AAP members, including a Deputy Chief Minister, have kept the case in the headlines, intensifying the scrutiny on the alleged irregularities in the excise policy's design and execution.

As investigations continue, the case continues to unravel, shedding light on the intricacies of the policy and its alleged consequences.
