ED arrested the AAP leader on May 30, 2022 on charges of money laundering. (document)
New Delhi:
Former Delhi health minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain returned to Tihar jail on Monday, hours after the Supreme Court rejected his periodic bail plea in a money laundering case.
“Jain reached Tihar Jail in the evening. The formal process to lodge him in the jail has begun,” a jail official said.
Jain left his residence in Saraswati Vihar in northwest Delhi at around 6 pm and went to the jail to surrender. The Supreme Court rejected an oral plea filed by Jain’s lawyers to allow him to surrender within a week.
On January 17, the Supreme Court reserved its ruling on his regular bail plea.
The Supreme Court granted Jain interim bail on May 26, 2023 on health grounds and extended the bail from time to time.
Mr. Jain has moved the Supreme Court challenging the April 6, 2023 order of the Delhi High Court dismissing his regular bail application in the case.
The ED arrested the AAP leader on May 30, 2022, on charges of money laundering through four companies allegedly linked to him.
It arrested Jain based on a CBI FIR registered in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
