NEW DELHI: In fresh trouble for Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, the ED has registered a case of money laundering against him and others on the basis of an FIR filed by the CBI recently.
The probe agency officials said the criminal case was registered against the minister under the relevant sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will probe the alleged ‘proceeds of crime’ in the case.
Jain and others associated with him in the case will be summoned by the ED to record their statements. It will also identify his properties and that of other accused which could be attached under the PMLA.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had earlier said that Jain, who is Delhi’s health minister, could not explain the source of funds received by four companies in which he is a shareholder.
It had registered a case against him, his wife and four others on charges of money laundering. (AGENCIES)
