Satyendar Jain’s arrest is politically motivated: AAP’s Sanjay Singh

Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh called the arrest of Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain 'politically motivated'. Jain was arrested by the ED on Monday in a money laundering case.

Hours after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Delhi minister Satyendra Jain in an alleged money laundering case, the Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh termed it politically motivated. Singh said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) arrested Jain a day after he was made the in-charge of Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming assembly elections.

"He has been to the questioning of ED seven times, he was given a clean chit by the CBI, then suddenly why has he been arrested after eight years? For eight years, the ED failed to investigate the case, but now as the BJP got to know that they are losing polls in Himachal, they arrested Jain as he was made state in-charge," Singh said.
