The Enforcement Directorate arrested former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in May last year in connection with a money-laundering case.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) politician Satyendar Jain on Monday filed a petition at the Supreme Court to seek bail in a money-laundering case brought against him by India's economic intelligence and law enforcement agency - the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
His move came after the Delhi High Court dismissed his bail application in the same case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opened an investigation in 2017 against Jain, his family, and his associates alleging money laundering through Kolkata-based shell companies. Shortly after, the ED also became involved.
In its investigation, the ED revealed that companies owned by Jain received up to INR 48.1Mln ($580,000) from shell companies through informal payment methods based on trust during 2015-2016.
The money was allegedly credited to Jain's companies against cash transferred to state-based operators. It was used to buy land and repay loans taken to buy agricultural land in and around Delhi.
