This isn’t the first time a prominent figure from the Aam Aadmi Party has faced legal troubles. Last year, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain became entangled in money laundering accusations involving four linked companies. In February of this year, the then Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, a close confidant of Arvind Kejriwal, faced arrest by the CBI in connection to an alleged liquor policy scandal.

In the midst of the raids, Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi’s Chief Minister, lent his vocal support to Singh. He accused the BJP of attempting to disrupt his party right before the upcoming general election, without explicitly stating it. Raghav Chadha echoed similar sentiments, labeling Singh’s arrest as a political maneuver by the BJP driven by fear of electoral defeat.

Despite months of scrutiny by the Enforcement Directorate, Singh was never named as a suspect or summoned for a statement. Some within the party view his arrest as a desperate ploy by political rivals.

Family Confidence: Dinesh Singh’s Reassurance

Sanjay Singh’s father, Dinesh Singh, remains unfazed. He assures that the family cooperated with the police, nothing untoward was discovered at home, and truth will prevail in the end.

Delving into the Liquor Policy Saga: CBI and ED Investigations

The investigation pivots around the Delhi liquor policy, drawing attention from both the CBI and the ED. Initiated in November 2021, the policy involved the government stepping back from direct liquor sales, allowing private licensees to take charge. Concerns raised by Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar in July 2022 alleged shady deals favoring liquor sellers, intensifying the conflict between the BJP and AAP, as well as between Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and the Delhi government.
