Money Laundering Case: Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain Sent To 14 Days Judicial Custody
Live LawA Delhi Court on Monday sent Aam Aadmi Party Minister Satyendar Jain to 14 days judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate. The development came after Jain's 5 days ED custody expired today, which was extended on June 9. In a related news, the Delhi High Court has stayed the Trial Court direction permitting Satyendar Jain's counsel to remain present during his interrogation in the matter. In an earlier statement, the ED had reportedly said thus: "During the period 2015-16, when Satyendar Kumar Jain was a public servant, the above mentioned companies beneficially owned and controlled by him received accommodation entries to the tune of Rs.4.81 crore from shell companies against cash transferred to Kolkata-based entry operators through 'hawala' route," the ED had earlier said in a statement.
