CBI registers FIR against Satyendar Jain in alleged money laundering case

In a fresh trouble for Aam Aadmi Party, the CBI has registered an FIR against Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain in connection with an alleged money laundering case, the PTI sources said.

The CBI was carrying out a ‘preliminary enquiry’ (PE) against Jain to probe allegations of money laundering against him, they said.

The agency has now converted the PE into an FIR to carry out a detailed probe, the sources said.

“CBI reached my home for search,” Jain posted on Twitter on Friday.
