NEW DELHI: Sanjay Singh, a Rajya Sabha member for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is the subject of an ED raid at his home in relation to an excise policy issue. MP Sanjay Singh said in a letter to the Finance Secretary T V Somanathan earlier this month that the ED Director and Assistant Director purposefully and without justification connected his name to the suspected liquor scam, destroying his reputation and defaming him. Singh stated that statements made by Dinesh Arora led to the addition of his name. Singh further claimed that the officers’ abuse of their authority damaged his reputation and called for their prosecution. He claimed to have already given the cops legal notice that they must publicly and openly apologise. In the ED charge sheet, the name of the AAP leader appears four times, four of which, according to ED sources, were entered incorrectly. Sanjay Singh’s name was occasionally used in place of Rahul Singh, the then-excise commissioner. Additional information regarding the ED’s alleged search of Sanjay Singh’s home is needed.
