Satyendar Jain, 57, was detained on May 30 by the Enforcement Directorate under the criminal provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and is now being held in judicial custody.
Similar searches were launched on Satyendar Jain’s family and others following his arrest, and the investigative agency recovered “unexplained” cash totalling 2.85 crores and 133 gold coins.
The agency under the PMLA is investigating Satyendar Jain, a minister without a portfolio in Arvind Kejriwal’s cabinet, on the grounds of suspected hawala activities.
