Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Friday, October 13, moved the Delhi High Court challenging his arrest in the Delhi liquor scam case. He has also challenged the remand granted to him by the trial court. The court will hear the matter later in the day.

The matter was mentioned for urgent hearing by a lawyer for the Rajya Sabha MP before a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula.

Singh's lawyer said proper grounds of arrest were not provided to him.

“Alright,” the court said.

The special court had on October 10 extended till October 13 the ED custody of Singh, arrested in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the scrapped Delhi excise policy.

The AAP leader was arrested by the ED on Wednesday in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the 2021-22 Delhi excise policy case and was the second high profile leader after Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister, to be held in this case, in a big jolt to Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
