Sanjay Singh, an Aam Aadmi Party MP, criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday for the arrest of Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate; calling it a “fake, unfounded case.”
“They’re preaching to us from the party whose national president was seen on tape receiving bribes, which pulled out a ruse with martyrs’ coffins and a ruse with Rafale. Gabbar Singh seems to be preaching a message of peace. “At a news conference held here, Mr. Singh said.
Satyendra Jain will emerge victorious from the lawsuit, according to the AAP MP.
He stated that the CBI investigation into Mr. Jain discovered “nothing,” but the ED arrested him since Himachal Pradesh is going to the elections this year. Mr. Jain is the AAP’s Himachal Pradesh state coordinator.

“Does the ED’s office report to the BJP?” Mr. Singh had inquired.
On May 30, Delhi Health and Home Minister Satyendar Jain were detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning suspected hawala transactions involving a Kolkata-based firm. A special ED squad stormed Mr. Jain’s home in Delhi, and he was detained.
Mr. Jain was charged with money laundering on August 25, 2017, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
According to the FIR, Mr. Jain could not explain the source of cash received by four firms in which he was a stakeholder; thus, the ED filed a criminal case against him.
Mr. Jain is said to have formed or purchased several sham corporations in Delhi. He is also accused of laundering money worth 16.39 crore via 54 shell firms controlled by three Kolkata-based hawala operators.
Mr. Jain reportedly had many shares in Prayas, Indo, and Akinchan, among other firms. According to sources, Kejriwal’s claims were transferred to his wife in 2015 when he became a Minister in his cabinet.
These businesses used to send cash payments to their Kolkata equivalents, who would then “route back the money” to Mr. Jain via legal procedures to purchase shares. From 2010 to 2014, the firms have laundered money to Satyendra Jain for 16.39 crores.
According to official sources, Mr. Jain surrendered black money worth 16.39 crore in cash under the Income Disclosure Scheme (IDS) 2016 under the Benami identities of Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain after being prosecuted by the I-T Department.
Mr. Jain’s prosecution on charges of disproportionate assets and money laundering was allowed by the Home Ministry in November of this year.
Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh will take place later this year.
