The Ministry of Home Affairs on Friday granted a sanction to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to prosecute Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi minister Satyendra Jain in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy ‘scam’ case.
MHA has also requested the President to grant prosecution sanction for initiating legal proceedings against Jain.
Jain is sought to be prosecuted under Section 218 of the Indian Civil Security Code, 2023, PTI reported citing sources.
The MHA’s request follows the material received from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which reportedly has found sufficient evidence to proceed with the prosecution of Jain in this case.
