Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh is a key conspirator in the Delhi excise policy scandal who not only received 2 crore as bribe through his aides from accused-turned-approver Dinesh Arora but also played a role in extending favours under the now-scrapped policy, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told a local court on Thursday.

A day after arresting Singh, 51, a Rajya Sabha member in connection with alleged financial irregularities in the excise policy, ED also said there was evidence against Singh in the form of call detail records (CDRs) that allegedly proved the delivery of cash at his residence on two occasions.

The statements were part of submissions made by ED's special prosecutor NK Matta in the court of special judge MK Nagpal while seeking a 10-day remand for Singh on the grounds that he needed to be interrogated to unearth the modus operandi, money trail and associates or entities involved in the alleged kickbacks.

The court sent Singh to ED custody till October 10.
