The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is raiding the residence of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
In May 2023, Singh wrote to Finance Secretary T V Somanathan accusing the ED Director and Assistant Director of deliberately linking his name to the alleged liquor scam without any basis, tarnishing his public image and defaming him. Singh said his name was added on the basis of statements from Dinesh Arora. He also alleged that the officers misused their position to tarnish his public image and demanded prosecution against them. Singh said he already sent a legal notice to the officers to issue an open and public apology.
According to ED sources, Singh’s name appears four times in the ED charge sheet, but one reference was wrong and typed inadvertently. At one place, Singh’s name was mentioned instead of Rahul Singh, who was then excise commissioner.
The ED is searching Singh’s residence. Further details are awaited.
