The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has formally sought the President’s consent to prosecute Satyendar Jain, former Delhi Minister and senior AAP leader, for financial irregularities. The request follows an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which alleges Jain’s involvement in money laundering and other financial crimes.
Jain, who held the portfolio for health and family welfare in Delhi, has faced ongoing scrutiny over his financial dealings. According to the ED, the evidence gathered points to significant corruption and financial mismanagement. Jain, however, has rejected the charges as politically motivated.
The request for Presidential consent is an essential step before prosecution can commence. If the President grants approval, the case will move forward, and Jain will have the opportunity to defend himself in court.
