AAP MP Sanjay Singh gets bail in Delhi excise policy scam case

New Delhi: In a relief to AAP leader Sanjay Singh, the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to him in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case after the Enforcement Directorate conceded that it has no objections.

The grant of bail to the Rajya Sabha member is a reprieve to the beleaguered Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in midst of Lok Sabha poll campaigning as two of its top leaders -- national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia -- are in jail in connection with the case.

A bench of justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta and P B Varale ordered the release of Singh, who has been in jail for six months, observing that no money has been recovered from his possession and there is no trace of it. (PTI)
