The arrest comes hours after Sanjay Singh's house was raided by the probe agency.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case related to the Delhi Liquour Policy case. The arrest comes hours after Mr Singh's house was raided by the probe agency.
Today's raids against Mr Singh come after he was named by an accused in the case - businessman Dinesh Arora - who later became an 'approver', and a font of information for the authorities.
Earlier, former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia was arrested by the ED in the alleged liquor scam. Mr Sisodia was arrested in March and failed in repeated attempts to get bail.

Arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case is the latest development in the investigation into the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy. Here is a round-up of the case.
In November 2021, the Arvind Kejriwal government introduced a new liquor policy in the national capital.

The move, the government said, was aimed at cracking down on black marketing, increasing government revenue and improving the overall customer experience.
