According to the anti-money laundering agency, businessman Dinesh Arora, an accused in the case, allegedly handed over Rs 2 crore in cash at Singh’s residence in two installments. However, Singh has denied these allegations. The ED’s contention is that Arora provided the cash on two occasions, with Rs 1 crore given each time, during the period spanning August 2021 to April 2022.
This money laundering probe is linked to the Delhi Excise policy of 2021-22, and Sanjay Singh is the second prominent AAP leader, following former Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, to be detained in connection with this case. The AAP, in response, has characterized the arrests and the entire case as a “political witch-hunt.”
Notably, this charge sheet is one among several complaints previously filed by the ED in the ongoing investigation, reflecting the gravity and complexity of the alleged financial irregularities.
