AAP नेता सत्येंद्र जैन को दो साल बाद मनी लॉन्ड्रिंग मामले में जमानत मिल गई है।

AAP leader Satyendar Jain has been granted bail in a money laundering case after two years.

A Delhi court granted bail to former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a money laundering case on Friday. Jain, a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on May 30, 2022, due to allegations involving four companies linked to him.

Special Judge Vishal Gogne noted, "Considering the delay in trial, the lengthy 18-month incarceration, and the anticipated length of the trial process, the accused is well-suited for bail," as reported by PTI. The judge set the bail bond at ₹50,000, requiring two sureties of the same amount. The case originates from an FIR filed against Jain by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

Manish Sisodia, another AAP leader, expressed his support on X, stating, "Satyamev Jayate. Long live the Constitution. The dictatorship of the dictator has struck us again. Satyendar Jain was unjustly imprisoned for so long on false allegations. His house was raided four times."

He added, “Despite nothing being found, he was kept in jail based on a fabricated case under the PMLA. We thank the judiciary for standing by truth and justice.”

Notably, other senior AAP leaders facing corruption charges are also out on bail. Last month, party leader Arvind Kejriwal received bail from the Supreme Court in a CBI case linked to the alleged liquor scam. In August, Manish Sisodia was granted bail by the Supreme Court after spending 17 months in Tihar jail related to the Delhi excise policy case. Earlier this year, the apex court granted bail to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh after the ED did not oppose his request in the same excise policy case.
