ED Supports Trial Against Ex-Minister Satyendar Jain for Money Laundering

On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced that there was enough proof to take former AAP minister Satyendar Jain to trial for a money laundering case. A special judge, Jitendra Singh, listened to the ED’s argument about charging Jain. The ED lawyer mentioned that there is enough evidence, including witness statements, to proceed with the trial. During the hearing, the judge asked the ED some questions about the charges against Jain, and the officer investigating the case requested more time to review the evidence. The court scheduled the next discussion for January 23, 2025. On October 18, 2024, the court granted bail to Jain due to delays in the trial and his long time in custody. Jain was arrested by the ED on May 30, 2022, for allegedly laundering money through four companies connected to him.
