The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday arrested senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh following several hours of questioning in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, in which former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is already in judicial custody.
Mr. Singh, who is considered close to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, is the third senior AAP leader to be arrested in less than a year and a half, as former Delhi Public Works Department Minister Satyendar Jain was arrested by the ED on May 30 last year in an alleged money laundering case.
Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Mr. Kejriwal called the arrest “totally illegal”. “This shows Modiji’s desperation. They will arrest many more Opposition leaders before the election,” Mr. Kejriwal said in a post on social media platform X.
