President Approves Prosecution of AAP Leader Satyendar Jain in Money Laundering Case

The move follows a recommendation by the Ministry of Home Affairs citing evidence from the Enforcement Directorate's investigation.

President Droupadi Murmu has granted approval to prosecute AAP leader Satyendar Jain under Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
Jain is accused of money laundering through alleged hawala transactions linked to a 2017 CBI case involving disproportionate assets.
The Enforcement Directorate claims Jain controlled companies that received ₹4.81 crore through shell firms to purchase agricultural land.
The CBI's chargesheet alleges Jain amassed ₹1.47 crore in assets, 217% more than his known income between 2015 and 2017.
Jain, who previously held health and power portfolios in Delhi, denies the charges and is currently out on bail.
