Jailed AAP Leader Satyendar Jain Seeks Bail in Money Laundering Case

Satyendar Jain, the former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, applied for bail in a city court on Thursday in relation to a money laundering case. Special Judge Rakesh Syal has summoned the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to Jain’s bail request by September 25, the scheduled date for the next hearing.

Jain, who was produced in court following the expiry of his judicial custody, will remain under further custody after the judge extended his term. The AAP leader has been detained under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The ED’s arrest of Jain on May 30, 2022, was based on allegations of money laundering through four companies reportedly associated with him. This case was initiated from a 2017 FIR lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
