On Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation questioned the Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain and his wife in the money laundering case. This was followed up after the CBI visited the minister’s residence on Monday morning.
The money laundering involved Rs. 4.63 crores and Jain was named as the accused. Sunday was the first that Jain’s wife was involved in the case. The CBI officials said in a report the money laundering was initiated when he was in service last year.
The CBI said “It is alleged that Jain was involved in money laundering to the tune of Rs. 4.63 crores, when he was a public servant during 2015-16, through Prayas Info Solutions Private Limited, Akinchan Developers Private Limited and Managalyatan Projects Private Limited.”
In June, the Enforcement Directorate said they found suspicious properties linked to Jain’s name. However, the minister of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) denied these allegations. He came into the scanner of the CBI again after the New Delhi Water Minister, Kapil Mishra levied allegations on him.
The CBI said that the prelim inquiry had been launched. They said that another case will be filed against the minister for discrepancies.
