AAP leader Sanjay Singh on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of mocking the justice system following the Delhi High Court's decision to put on hold a trial court order granting bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam.

Singh asserted that the trial court's bail granting to Kejriwal 'exposed' a conspiracy by the BJP and demanded an apology from the party to AAP and Kejriwal.

Singh took to social media platform X, questioning, 'Look at the hooliganism of the Modi government... Modi's ED reached the High Court to challenge which order? What is happening in this country?' The AAP MP expressed concerns over what he described as a mockery of the justice system witnessed by the entire country.

At a press conference, Singh called the trial court order 'historic' and claimed it 'exposed' the BJP government's manipulation via the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He alleged that the ED fabricated facts and pressured witnesses to present favorable documents in court.

Singh emphasized that the trial court found no evidence or money trail in the alleged transactions related to Goa polls, and described the case against AAP as baseless stories built on fake evidence to undermine their politics.

He charged that the BJP government hatched a deep conspiracy to imprison Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and himself, as evidenced in the court order.

Singh highlighted the unusual haste with which the ED approached the high court to challenge the trial court's order even before it was publicly available, suggesting it as unprecedented in the nation's history.

He expected the high court to take notice of this undue haste by the ED, which could not provide a timeline for establishing the money trail in the Goa elections.

Meanwhile, the ED, represented by Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, sought a stay on the trial court order, arguing that the agency had not been given a proper opportunity to present its case.

This legal tussle began when the ED arrested Kejriwal on March 21, following the high court's refusal to protect him from arrest on his petition challenging the summons issued to him.
