The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday filed a charge sheet against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case, reports PTI.
This is a supplementary charge sheet in this case as the central agency had filed about five such complaints earlier.
The prosecution complaint has been filed before a local court under various sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The Rajya Sabha AAP MP was arrested in connection with the case by the anti-money laundering agency in October. It had alleged that an accused businessman Dinesh Arora gave Rs 2 crore in cash at the Rajya Sabha MP’s residence in two tranches. The agency in its remand application said that Rs 1 crore was given each time between August 2021 and April 2022.
Singh has refuted the allegations.
The AAP MP was arrested by the ED in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the 2021-22 Delhi Excise policy case and was the second high-profile leader after Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister, to be held in this case.
The AAP has called the arrests a case of “political witch-hunt”.
