Former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain Gets Bail

Former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain has been granted bail by a local court in a money laundering case. Mr Jain was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over two years ago.
The Supreme Court had granted him interim bail in May 2023 on medical grounds. He returned to Delhi's Tihar jail after the Supreme Court denied his request for regular bail in March this year.

"Considering the delay in trial and long incarceration of 18 months, and the fact that the trail will take a long time to start, let alone conclude, the accused is favourably suited for the relief," special judge Vishal Gogne said, according to news agency PTI.

Mr Jain is the third AAP leader who has been granted bail in different cases in recent times.
