Delhi minister Satyendar Jain’s troubles increased: Court sent to ED custody till June 9, arrested in money laundering case

In the money laundering case, the difficulties of Minister Satyendar Jain in the Delhi Government are increasing. Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has sent him to ED custody till June 9. The matter is said to be related to the Kolkata-based company. Satyendra is considered close to Arvind Kejriwal.

Last month, the ED had attached assets worth Rs 4.81 crore of the Jain family and their associated companies. In 2018 also, ED had questioned Satyendra Jain in this case. Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain is considered close to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing in the court on behalf of ED, said that we have data entry on how money was invested in hawala.

Kejriwal said – become a victim of revenge politics
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that Health Minister Satyendar Jain is being targeted for political reasons. He said that I have studied everything related to this case. This case is completely fake and I have full faith in the judiciary. On Monday, the ED arrested the Health Minister of Delhi in a case related to hawala, after which the opposition parties have been continuously demanding the dismissal of Jain.

Jain was not cooperating in the investigation
The major reason for the arrest of Satyendra Jain has also come to the fore that he was not cooperating with the ED in the investigation. The information related to the case was being hidden from the investigating agency. Now ED will present Satyendra in court and seek remand for interrogation, so that this case of hawala can be ascertained. It has been almost eight years since this case went on. On April 5, Bhaskar had told that ED is eyeing Satyendra Jain.

On the other hand, political rhetoric has also started on this matter. BJP has said that this is an honest leader of an honest government. On the other hand, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has called it an act of retaliation. He says that a false case was being run for eight years. Jain is our election in-charge in Himachal Pradesh, that is why he has been arrested.

Attached assets worth Rs 4.81 crore
Immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to Jain’s family and firms were temporarily attached following an FIR registered by the CBI under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) two months ago. The CBI had registered the case in August 2017. Later this case was transferred to ED.
