The CBI on Monday informed a Delhi court that it had obtained requisite sanctions to prosecute Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a disproportionate assets case.

It was alleged by the CBI that the minister, while functioning as a public servant, amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income to the extent of approximately Rs 1.62 crore between February 14, 2015, and May 31, 2017.

“Sh. Ranjit Kumar Tank, DSP/IO has filed the Sanction Order dated 31.12.2024,” said Special Judge Jitendra Singh of Rouse Avenue Court in his order dated January 13. Judge Singh also posted the next hearing on January 22.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had attached properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to four companies allegedly linked to Jain and his relatives in connection with a money laundering probe for which he spent over 18 months in jail. He was granted bail in the money laundering case in October last year.
