Previously, Sanjay Singh had sought bail in the Delhi High Court, arguing that he wasn’t involved in the main offense. However, the court rejected his plea. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed his bail, claiming his involvement in activities related to the proceeds of the Delhi liquor scam during the 2021-22 policy period. The ED alleged that Singh received kickbacks from the liquor policy ‘scam’. The ED’s case originated from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR, alleging irregularities in the modification of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, with undue favors granted to license holders.
