New Delhi, Oct 10: In connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi on Tuesday extended the Enforcement Directorate’s custody of Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh until October 13.
After his five days in ED custody came to an end today, the senior AAP leader was brought before the court.
ED has asked for an additional five days of custody on the grounds that Singh was being uncooperative and withholding information concerning his old phone. “His close associate Sarvesh Mishra is also not cooperating,” ED told the court.
The agency added that evidence gathered indicates that bribery demands were made in order to clear liquor licenses.
On October 4, Sanjay Singh was taken into custody following a day-long interrogation by ED officials at his home in Delhi.
Sanjay Singh was then remanded in custody till October 10, 2023 in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy Case by the Court on October 5.
Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister of Delhi and fellow member of Sanjay Singh’s party, is allegedly also involved in the liquor policy scam. He is currently held in jail in connection with the same issue.
