Sanjay Singh arrest: will move court against ED action, says Arvind Kejriwal

AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after its second high-profile leader and parliamentarian Sanjay Singh was arrested by ED in connection with a now-scrapped excise policy case.

Kejriwal who arrived at Sanjay Singh's Delhi residence along with other prominent party leaders said, "ED officials searched his entire house but nothing was found and he was arrested in the evening. Elections are coming and after the formation of the INDIA alliance, PM Modi is desperate... They will arrest many people till 2024. Sanjay Singh is a lion...We file a case in court..."

Singh was taken into custody Wednesday evening by the Enforcement Directorate, the second high-profile AAP leader arrested in this case after Manish Sisodia. Early this morning, ED officials swooped on Singh's official residence in North Avenue and conducted searches. After day-long questioning, Singh was arrested under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said the excise case is an imaginary scam that has been under scrutiny for the past 15 months.
