Satyendar Jain, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for corruption charges under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), is currently in judicial custody
The Enforcement Directorate on November 9 accused Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain, arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar Jail.
The ED made the submission before Special Judge Vikas Dhull while concluding its arguments opposing Mr. Jain's plea alleging that the money laundering case against him was clearly made out.
"Unknown persons were giving massages and foot massages to Mr. Jain, even beyond curfew hours. He was given special food," said Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S V Raju, appearing for the ED.
The ASG shared certain CCTV images with the court and alleged that most of the time Mr. Jain was either in hospital or in the jail enjoying facilities.
" Dekhiye chair pe massage chal rha hai, papers diye jaa rahe hain [See he's getting massage sitting on a chair, newspaper is being given to him],” he told the court.
The ED further said it has evidence revealing that Mr. Jain was always in control of the accused company.
"Money was routed and dummy persons were made the directors, who were not even aware about the company affairs. Mr. Jain was the beneficial owner,” the ASG said, adding that Mr. Jain did not cooperate during the investigation and misled the agency by giving false evidences and recording wrong statement.
