Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi government minister Satyendar Jain, arrested in the money laundering case, will spend some more nights in jail. A Delhi court on Monday once again extended the judicial custody of Satyendar Jain till July 20.
The court's order comes days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Satyendar Jain's wife Poonam Jain to appear before the probe agency this week. Poonam's name, in this case, has emerged from the information received from the digital devices seized during the money laundering investigation against the 'AAP' leader.
The 57-year-old Delhi minister was arrested on May 30 under sections of the Money Laundering Prevention Act. The ED has conducted at least two rounds of raids against Jain's family members and associates. After the first round of raids on June 6 against Jain's family and others, the agency had claimed to have seized 'unexplained' cash worth Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins.
The ED had alleged that during the period 2015-16 when Satyendra Kumar Jain was a public servant, the Kolkata-based entry was made through the hawala route from shell (paper) companies against cash transfers to companies beneficially owned and controlled by him. The operators received entries worth Rs 4.81 crore.
The ED had said that these amounts were used for the direct purchase of land or repayment of loans taken for the purchase of agricultural land in and around Delhi. The money laundering case against the AAP minister stems from an FIR lodged in August 2017 by the CBI against him and others for possessing disproportionate assets.
Satyendra Jain was arrested by the ED on May 30 in the Hawala case after several hours of interrogation. Jain is accused of transacting through fake companies. Jain was first taken into custody and then arrested after interrogation. He is currently in judicial custody.
