Court rejects AAP leader Satyendar Jain’s anticipatory bail plea | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: A court here on Tuesday dismissed the plea of a senior AAP leader Satyendar Jainan accused in a money laundering case, seeking four weeks’ interim bail to take care of his injured wife and ailing daughter. According to Jain’s application, his wife Poonam Jain, also an accused in the case, has a fractured right foot, which requires “constant personal attention and care”. It said their younger daughter was also suffering from a number of ailments and needed constant care.
“That the wife of the applicant (Jain), apart from taking care of herself and taking care of other affairs, is also unable to take care of her younger daughter due to her present condition. There is no one else in the family to maintain her as the other daughter is married, staying in her matrimonial home and has a 7-month-old child to take care of,” the application said.
The ED had arrested Jain, a former cabinet minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government, on May 30, 2022, on charges of money laundering through four companies allegedly linked to him.
Jain was arrested based on a CBI FIR registered against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
