Sanjay Singh has been detained in connection with an alleged liquor fraud in Delhi.

The ED searched the offices of Sanjay Singh's close friends, Sarvesh Mishra and Vivek Tyagi, in May of this year. During this period, some papers and mobile phones were discovered, indicating their connection to the liquor fraud.The ED told the court on Thursday, while requesting Sanjay Singh's custody, that Dinesh Arora had paid him Rs 2 crore in two installments at his house. During this time, ED took the name Sarvesh.

According to ED's lawyer, the bribe was collected on his behalf at Sanjay Singh's residence by Sarvesh Mishra. The investigating agency claims that Vivek Tyagi, who was Sanjay Singh's PA, was given a stake in the company of accused Amit Arora. To examine Dinesh Arora's assertions, the ED can now summon Sanjay Singh and interview him alongside Sarvesh Mishra and Vivek Tyagi. According to ED sources, some more people may be called in the next 2–3 days in addition to Sarvesh Mishra and Vivek Tyagi.
