ED is being misused: Sanjay Singh
Sanjay Singh said in the video message, the Narendra Modi government at the Center is misusing the ED. He said, if I have to go to the Supreme Court or even the High Court against the dictatorship and hooliganism of the Center, I will not back down. When you haven’t found anything against me, you are conducting raids against my colleagues Ajit Tyagi and Sarvesh Mishra.
what is the matter
The case is related to alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now canceled Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi had recommended the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the matter. After this, ED also registered a case under PMLA. The ED and the CBI allege that cartelisation was done to grant licenses to liquor traders under the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 and undue favors were extended to some traders, who allegedly paid bribes for the same. However, AAP has denied these allegations.
