New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has moved an application in Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi, saying that Enforcement Directorate officials tried to shift from the premises of ED to Police Station Tughlak Road on purported grounds where he could be tortured.
Sanjay Singh through his legal counsels raised the issue of his safety and security.
The plea stated that when Singh asked for the reason for shifting, he was told that the purported reason for shifting was the use of pesticides in the lockup of ED headquarters. Singh further claimed that it's beyond comprehension that a premier agency has only one lockup.
That even if pesticide was used in the lockup then he should have been shifted to another lockup in the ED HQ. When he resisted the attempt, he was made to sleep outside the lockup and subjected to inhuman treatment, the plea stated.
Noted the submissions, the Court asked for ED to stand on the application and will hear the matter shortly today.
On Thursday the Court sent Sanjay Singh to remand till October 10, 2023, in connection with Delhi excise policy case.
The ED on Wednesday evening arrested Sanjay Singh after a day-long questioning by the ED officials at his Delhi residence. (with ANI inputs)
