Satyendar Jain Granted Bail After 18-Month Incarceration
The former Delhi health minister's release comes amid allegations of political targeting and a stalled trial process.
- Satyendar Jain, an AAP leader, was released from Tihar Jail after being granted bail in a money laundering case by a Delhi court.
- The court cited Jain's prolonged detention and the significant delay in trial proceedings as reasons for granting bail.
- Jain was accused of acquiring disproportionate assets and laundering money through companies linked to him, charges he denies.
- AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, allege that Jain's arrest was politically motivated to hinder the party's initiatives.
- The Enforcement Directorate opposed the bail, fearing Jain might influence witnesses, but the court prioritized his right to liberty.
