New Delhi, Jun 14: Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case, will continue to remain behind the bars till June 18 as a court on Tuesday reserved its order on his bail plea.
Special Judge Geetanjali Goel reserved the order till June 18 after hearing arguments from Jain as well as the ED.
The federal agency had arrested Jain on May 30 under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
On June 9, the court had extended by four days the ED custody of Jain on an application from the agency that sought his further custody for five more days. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has termed all allegations leveled against Jain as fraud. Meanwhile, a viral image of the jailed minister with a bruised face while allegedly being taken to the hospital from the ED's custody has sparked speculations of injury. Former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas has also criticized Satyendra Jain in his tweet.
According to Jain's lawyer, the Delhi minister was suffering from post-Covid sleep apnea and had to be sent to the hospital as he was not feeling well.
