The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has requested the President to give her approval to prosecute former Delhi health minister Satyendra Jain under section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sahita (BNSS).
AAP leader Satyendar Jain discusses Aam Aadmi Party’s policies ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections and the highly debated topic of ‘Clean Yamuna River’ during these elections. He also talks about the money laundering allegations against him and explains what led to his resignation as a minister.
Jain, who was Delhi’s PWD minister and nodal authority of the project, was accused of receiving a bribe of Rs seven crore for waiving off the penalty of Rs 16 crore imposed on BEL for delay in installing 1.4 lakh CCTV Cameras in Delhi at the cost of Rs 571 crore.
The list of campaigners also has names of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, former Delhi Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and former Health minister Satyendar Jain.
Jain’s plea was for bail in an alleged money laundering case registered by the Directorate of Enforcement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The proceedings of Jain's case were heard in a special court where Special Judge Geetanjali Goel was dealing with the matter.
A Rouse Avenue court has granted permission to Enforcement Directorate (ED) to quiz Delhi Cabinet Minister Satyendra Jain.
Jain was produced before Special CBI Court Judge Geetanjali Goel in the ED's case, in which he was arrested on Monday evening.
Jain will be presented at the Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday. The ED is likely to seek his custodial remand to confront him with some documents and statements.
"Delhi government is ready to fight any variant of Covid with full force. We have the appropriate infrastructure to treat patients and stop the spread of Coronavirus," Jain said.
