New Delhi: The Capital's Health Minister Satyendar Jain got a major relief from the Delhi High Court on Thursday. The court on Thursday dismissed a petition seeking Jain's suspension from the post of a cabinet minister. The plea had said that even after being in custody, Jain was still taking advantage of the allowances and privileges of a cabinet minister. While he has been accused of a serious essence, for which he can be severely punished.

On May 31, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Jain in a money laundering case. He is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in judicial custody. Earlier, the court had rejected his bail plea. On July 1, the ED arrested two close associates of Satyendra Jain. The court has extended Vaibhav Jain's remand till July 11, while Ankush Jain has been sent to jail in judicial custody by the court.

The ED has registered a case of money laundering against Satyendra Jain, his wife Poonam Jain and associates in a 2017 case. He is alleged to have laundered black money worth Rs 16.39 crore through 54 shell companies of three Hawala operators in Kolkata. The property was seized during a search operation carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 at the premises of Jain's associates and others, who had directly or indirectly helped him.
