The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was arrested on May 30 under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the trial court on May 31 remanded him to ED's custody till June 9.
While remanding Mr Jain to ED's custody, the trial court had allowed his plea that during the time of enquiry/ investigation of the accused, one advocate of the accused shall be allowed to remain present at a safe distance wherefrom he can see the accused but not hear him.
