Satyendar Jain arrested in connection with money laundering probe

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday arrested Delhi Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain in connection with its money laundering probe.
Jain was arrested under the sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case connected to hawala transactions related to a Kolkata-based company, sources said.
His arrest has come a month after the financial probe agency had attached properties worth Rs 4.81 crore of the family and companies “beneficially owned and controlled” by Jain in connection with a money-laundering probe.
The ED had in 2018 questioned the AAP MLA from Shakur Basti in connection with the case.
Jain is the minister for health, power, home, PWD, industries, urban development, flood, irrigation and water in the Arvind Kejriwal-led government.
