Former Delhi Minister Satyendra Jain has been granted further interim bail on medical grounds until October 8 in a money laundering case. The Supreme Court has extended his bail, which was originally granted for six weeks, due to the medical treatment he is undergoing. Jain had challenged the Delhi High Court s decision to dismiss his bail plea. The case is based on allegations that Jain acquired properties that he could not account for satisfactorily. The Supreme Court will continue to hear the case on October 9.
Mr Jain, 57, was arrested by the central probe agency on May 30 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) over alleged hawala transactions with a Kolkata-based firm in 2015-16.
