Why AAP leader Sanjay Singh is under ED scanner

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday carried out searches at the residence of senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh in connection with its money laundering probe into irregularities in Delhi excise policy 2021-22. They discussed about Amit’s liquor business and Sanjay Singh told him that if he could accommodate his close men/staff in Amit’s business and that in exchange Sanjay Singh would take Amit to Manish Sisodia for further discussion on the above-mentioned request that Amit had.” A few days later, Amit, Dinesh Arora and Sanjay Singh went to Sisodia’s residence to meet the former deputy CM. According to ED, allowing Singh’s aide stakes in Amit Arora’s company in lieu of incorporating changes in excise policy, was a “quid pro quo between Amit Arora, Dinesh Arora and Sanjay Singh and Sisodia”. The anti-money laundering probe agency has already filed five charge sheets in the case, including against former deputy chief minister Sisodia alleging that the excise policy promoted cartel formations through back door, awarded exorbitant wholesale profit margins of 12 percent and “incentivised” other illegal activities on account of the alleged criminal conspiracy by the jailed former deputy chief minister of Delhi and other leaders of AAP to extract kickbacks from liquor businesses.
