New Delhi, July 27: In a case involving money laundering, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday filed a charge sheet in a Special Court against Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and others. Jain and the other two suspects in the case are now being held by authorities.
In accordance with the penal provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, Jain (57) was taken into custody by the ED on May 30. In the Delhi government run by the Aam Aadmi Party, he serves as a minister without a portfolio. Health, power, and a few more things have been held against Jain.
At least two sets of raids targeting the minister’s family and allies had already been carried out by the agency. This month, it also detained two of his business partners.
After the initial set of raids on June 6 on Jain’s family and others, the agency claimed to have taken ‘unexplained’ cash worth Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold pieces.
The CBI charged that between 2015 and 2017, the suspected disproportionate assets were valued at Rs. 1.47 crore, or nearly 217 percent more than his known sources of income.
