ED Files PMLA Chargesheet Against Satyendar Jain and 13 Others in Delhi Jal Board Tender Case

Investigators allege restrictive sewage‑plant tender terms funneled undue gains to a single supplier and yielded Rs 17.70 crore in illicit proceeds, a claim the AAP calls political.

Overview

  • ED names former DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, ex‑member Ajay Gupta, ex‑chief engineer Satish Chandra Vashishth, and private actors alongside Jain in its prosecution complaint.
  • The probe alleges DJB tenders were tailored to ‘IFAS technology with fixed media,’ enabling Euroteck Environmental to be the sole technology supplier.
  • Investigators say Rs 6.73 crore in illegal commissions moved through bogus invoices, advances and hawala cash, and that EEPL accrued Rs 9.96 crore in undue profits.
  • The agency says total proceeds of crime stand at about Rs 17.70 crore, and it provisionally attached assets worth Rs 15.36 crore on December 4.
  • The case stems from an ACB FIR over four STP upgrade tenders awarded in October 2022; the AAP rejects the allegations as a political vendetta, while the BJP hails the filing.
