New Delhi. The Enforcement Directorate has already sent Delhi government minister Satyendar Jain to ED jail on charges of cheating of about Rs 17 crore by creating shell i.e. fake companies. Now Satyendra Jain’s wife Poonam has been summoned by the investigating agency for questioning next week. In such a situation, questions are being raised whether after Satyendra Jain, his wife will also go to jail? Let us tell you that despite being in jail, Satyendar Jain is still a minister in Arvind Kejriwal’s government. An application was also made in the Delhi High Court to remove him from the post of minister, but the court rejected the application saying that he was not able to order it.
ED has asked Poonam Jain to appear on July 14. Satyendra Jain and his family are accused of forming 4 shells i.e. fake companies in the year 2011-12 and again in 2015-16. 11.78 crores and 4.63 crores were misappropriated through these companies. The Income Tax Department has already probed the matter and ordered attachment of Jain’s benami property. When the ED showed all the documents of the case to Satyendra Jain during interrogation, he said that he could not remember anything as he had lost his memory due to Corona.
Satyendra Jain’s bail application has been rejected many times. The court had said that there is a possibility of tampering with the evidence if he is released. Before arresting Jain, the ED had raided the premises of him and his close associates Poonam Jain, Naveen Jain, Siddharth Jain, GS Matharu, Ankush Jain, Yogesh and Vaibhav Jain. In these raids, an amount of 2.85 crores and 133 gold coins were claimed by the investigating agency. At the same time, in April this year, the ED had also attached assets worth Rs 4.81 crore of Satyendar Jain’s family and their companies. However, it is said by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that the allegations against Satyendra Jain are false. CM Kejriwal himself has said that Satyendra Jain is clean and allegations have been made due to political malice.
