Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Friday sent AAP leader Sanjay Singh to judicial custody till 27 October in connection with Delhi excise policy case.

The anti-money laundering agency had arrested Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP, on 4 October.

Special Judge MK Nagpal sent Singh to jail after the probe agency produced him before the court on expiry of his custodial custody granted earlier.

The ED has alleged that Singh played a key role in the formulation and implementation of the now scrapped policy, which benefited certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, for monetary considerations.
