Official sources told PTI that Singh was brought to the hospital on Tuesday morning and is likely to be released on Wednesday. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested him on October 4 last year in a money laundering case related to the now canceled Delhi Excise Policy.
Atishi, another cabinet minister of Delhi government, said that for the last two years, AAP leaders are being targeted and arrested in fake cases.
He said, “Two important things have come to the public from the court hearing. First, when the Supreme Court asked about the money transactions, the ED had no answer. Second, the entire ED case is based on the statements of government witnesses who were pressurized to give statements against Kejriwal.
ED has also arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Excise Policy 'scam'. The court on Monday sent him to judicial custody till April 15. Atishi shared the news of Singh's bail on social media platform 'X' and wrote, “Satyamev Jayate.”
