The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the release of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on bail due to the pending nature of trial in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy case. Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in October 2024 after searches at his residence in Delhi.
The probe agency – asked specifically if there was genuine further need for custody of Mr Singh – eventually declined to contest the opposition leader’s bail plea; appearing for the ED, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju said “without going into merits, I will make a concession in the bail matter.”
