The Enforcement Directorate on Monday arrested Delhi Home and Health Minister Satyendra Jain in a ₹4.81 crore money laundering case. In April, the agency had attached immovable properties worth ₹4.81 crore owned by Akinchan Developers, Indo Metal Impex and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The ED had booked Jain, his wife Poonam and others. The original disproportionate case against the minister and his wife was registered by the CBI in August of 2017. Minister Jain, the CBI had alleged, was unable to defend himself on funds the shell companies had received.
