Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court granted bail to former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain on Friday in connection with the money laundering case against him. Jain, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in May 2022, has been facing charges of laundering money through shell companies linked to him.
The court’s decision comes after Jain had been in custody for over a year.His legal team argued that he was not a flight risk and should be granted bail on health grounds. Jain has denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that the case against him is politically motivated.
This case has been closely watched, given Jain’s prominent role in the Delhi government prior to his arrest.
