Sanjay Singh, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and a Rajya Sabha member who was detained by the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, will be presented before the Rouse Avenue Court shortly. Dinesh Singh, Sanjay’s father, has also arrived at Rouse Avenue Court. Sanjay Singh was arrested following a day-long questioning by ED agents at his home in Delhi. Later, on Wednesday, he was brought to the ED office. AAP members and supporters who were protesting Sanjay Singh’s arrest earlier in the day were detained by Mumbai police.
After Sanjay Singh’s arrest, the Aam Aadmi party has staged protests across India. AAP members demonstrated outside the Aam Aadmi Party office in the nation’s capital, calling for his release. Atishi and Reena Gupta, two senior Aam Aadmi Party figures, raised slogans against the BJP and called for Sanjay Singh, the party’s leader, to be released.
Special CP Law and Order Dependra Pathak said, “It is a protest by the Aam Aadmi Party. The crowd is gathering gradually. Police are present here to maintain the law and order professionally. We are in communication with the organisers. We will make sure that law and order are maintained. We will try to contain the protestors.”
Speaking on Sanjay Singh’s arrest and the raids by Central agencies, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai targeted the BJP and said “This is going to continue till the 2024 elections unless the BJP loses”.
Prior to the ED raids at Sanjay Singh’s home, AAP members in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, organized a sizable protest.
