AAP politician and former Delhi cabinet minister Satyendar Jain was granted bail by a Delhi court on Friday in a money laundering case, citing his “long incarceration” and “delay in trial.”
On May 30, 2022, Jain was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on suspicion of money laundering through four allegedly related companies. He is currently being held in judicial custody.
”Considering the delay in trial and long incarceration of 18 months, and the fact that trail will take long to start, let alone conclude, accused is favourably suited for the relief,” said Special Judge Vishal Gogne.
The judge granted the relief on a bail bond Rs 50,000 with two sureties of like amount.
The ED case stems from an FIR lodged against Jain by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
