New Delhi: A special court here on Tuesday extended till October 13 the ED custody of AAP leader Sanjay Singh, arrested in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) now has three more days to interrogate Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP, in custody. Special Judge for ED cases M K Nagpal passed the order on an application moved by the anti-money laundering agency. The ED’s application prayed for extension of Singh’s custody, which was to end on Tuesday, by 5 days, accusing him of non-cooperation.
A larger amount could be involved for which we need to interrogate him further, the ED counsel said. Senior Advocate Rebecca John, who represented Singh, claimed the ED had no ground for seeking extension of the AAP leader’s custody in the case which was based on “shifting statements” of co-accused Amit Arora.
