Digital Desk: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh, has served the Enforcement Directorate with a legal notice demanding a public apology within 48 hours or face civil and criminal procedures. The Rajya Sabha MP has issued a legal notice to the ED for allegedly making false and defamatory statements about him in the Delhi excise policy case.
The notice to Enforcement Directorate Director Sanjay Kumar Mishra and Additional Director Jogender stated, "The officials have knowingly and intentionally made certain untrue, defamatory, and incriminating statements against Singh in the Delhi excise policy prosecution complaint."
According to the legal notice, ED associates, agents, and employees attempted to tarnish and mutilate the AAP leader's public image and otherwise popularize a perverse, false, motivated, wild, malicious, and baseless campaign against his alleged involvement in Delhi Excise Policy.
"In the conspiracy to defame...Sanjay Singh, the ED has deliberately and maliciously defamed him by imputing his involvement in some liquor policy based on an alleged statement of Dinesh Arora recorded under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on October 1, 2022," stated as per the legal notice.
The notice demands that the ED provide an open and public apology for the MP's mental anguish and harassment within 48 hours of receiving the notice. "Please be aware that ED is severely liable for such malicious misdeed." If you do not comply with the above within 48 hours of receiving this notice, I have instructions to initiate appropriate civil and criminal proceedings against you before the competent court, and in that event, you shall be fully responsible for the same and related costs and consequences," Singh's lawyer Maninderjit Singh Bedi stated in the legal notice, according to the AAP statement.
"The alleged statement of Dinesh Arora as recorded by the ED in the complaint has been mischaracterized and misquoted by the ED for ulterior purposes," Bedi charged in the notification.
The ED "intentionally" included Singh's name without any justification, with the malicious goal of bringing him into disrepute. To that aim, the ED has further propagated and caused the complaint, notably the parts relevant to my client, to be publicised, Bedi continued.
Singh stated in his statement that it is deeply disappointing that an agency such as the ED, which is supposed to be unbiased, has resorted to making such unfounded claims against him. "It is deeply regrettable that an agency such as the ED, which is supposed to be impartial, has made such baseless allegations against me." "I will not tolerate this type of character assassination, and I have decided to take legal action against those responsible," he stated.
