The Health Minister of Delhi Satyendar Jain’s custody has been extended to 5 more days by the ED in relation to the PMLA money laundering case. Jain was produced before the Rouse Avenue Court by the ED officials, which had demanded that his custodial remand be extended by five more days.
“During the raid, we have recovered a number of things and have to confront him with the people whose houses were raided,” the ED official said. After hearing the argument, the court allowed the ED plea and extended the custodial remand of Jain by five more days.
