AAP's Satyendar Jain sent to 14-day judicial custody in money laundering case
New Delhi, June 13: A Rouse Avenue court has sent AAP leader and Delhi's Health Minister Satyendar Jain to 14-day judicial custody in a money laundering case.
The Delhi Minister was arrested in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate last month.
The investigation into the matter has been underway since 2017 and Jain was arrested on May 30. Notably, during the search conducted on June 7, the probe agency has said it seized various incriminating documents and digital records.
The ED also added that the total movable assets were seized from an "unexplained source" and were "found to be secreted" in the raided premises.
The ED confiscated more than Rs 2 crore in cash and 1.8 kg of gold during raids on Jain and his associates in a money laundering case. According to the ED, Jain refused to cooperate during the interrogation.

Senior advocates Kapil Sibal and N Hariharan, on the other hand, opposed the remand extension, claiming that the recoveries have nothing to do with Jain.
"ED has not asked any question about the gold and jewellery in the last two days," they added.
Earlier, the minister was sent to ED custody from May 31 till June 9. Jain was arrested in a money laundering case connected with Disproportionate Asset (DA) case registered by CBI.
