The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain’s home in North Delhi’s Civil Lines on Monday, a week after he was arrested in a money-laundering case, according to sources. A team of seven officials, including a woman employee, arrived to his home at 7.30 a.m., according to reports.
The case stems from a CBI First Information Report (FIR) filed against the AAP legislator in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act accused of laundering money through four firms purportedly linked to him.
The ED temporarily attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to these and a fifth company—Akinchan Developers Pvt Ltd, Indo Metal Impex Pvt Ltd, Paryas Infosolutions Pvt Ltd, Manglayatan Projects Pvt Ltd, and JJ Ideal Estate Pvt Ltd—earlier this month. In addition, properties belonging to Swati Jain, Sushila Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, and Indu Jain have been attached in a case involving disproportionate assets.
