The central agency said last month that assets worth Rs 4.81 crore of Jain's family and companies "beneficially owned and controlled" by him were provisionally attached as part of a money-laundering probe against him. In 2018, the ED had questioned the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in connection with the case.
Meanwhile, Jain's arrest evoked a sharp response from Delhi's ruling AAP. Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said, "Satyendar Jain has been arrested by ED in a "fake" case as he is AAP's in-charge of Himachal Pradesh elections.''
"BJP is scared of losing Himachal Pradesh elections," the Delhi Deputy CM said, according to PTI.
Satyendar Jain is the Minister of Health, Home, Power, PWD, Industries, Urban Development & Flood, and Irrigation and Water in the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government. He is an MLA from Shakurbasti.
