New Delhi, Feb 3 (UNI) The Rouse Avenue court here on Saturday allowed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh to take oath as the Rajya Sabha MP on February 5.
The court directed the jail authorities to take Singh to the parliament at 10 am on Monday.
The AAP MP on Friday sought permission from the court to participate in the Parliament’s budget session. The court today granted him approval to take the oath, the party sources said here.
During court arguments, the audio of the CCTV footage of the statement of the ED government witness was found missing. Irregularities were found in many footage-videos filed by ED in which absence of audio and manipulation were seen, sources said.
When the court attempted to review the CCTV footage and the video of the statement recorded in ED custody yesterday, the documents couldn’t be accessed, sources said. Yesterday, when the court tried to examine the CCTV footage and video of the statement recorded in ED custody, the documents could not be opened. There was a lot of delay in filing the documents and later they were presented in a file which didn’t work. The sound of the video was also found missing, it said.
The court has sought a response from the ED on this matter.
Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on October 4 last year in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor excise policy, which was scrapped in July 2022.
