Court seeks ED’s response to Satyendar Jain’s case transfer plea

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday sought the Enforcement Directorate (ED)’s response to an application moved by jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyender Jain seeking transfer of a money laundering case to another judge.
Principal District and Sessions Judge Vinay Kumar Gupta issued notice to the ED on Jain’s plea, returnable by May 4, the next date of hearing in the matter.
The court, however, refused to stay the proceedings before Special Judge Vikas Dhull, who is currently hearing the case, during the pendency of the application.

Jain on Tuesday sought transfer of two cases related to alleged corruption and money laundering brought against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED to another judge.
Both the cases are currently being heard by Special Judge Dhull.
The proceedings in the CBI corruption case have been temporarily halted by the District Judge until May 4, when arguments on Jain’s transfer application will be heard.
Jain was placed under arrest on May 30, 2022, by the central agency under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
The ED had initiated a money laundering investigation on the basis of the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2017 under Sections 13(2) read with 13(1)(e) of the PC Act, 1988 against Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, and Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, and Ankush Jain.

The CBI has alleged that Jain, while holding the office as a Minister in the Delhi government during February 14, 2015 to May 31, 2017, had acquired assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
A charge sheet was filed by the CBI on December 3, 2018, against Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, and other accused.
Earlier, the ED had provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to companies beneficially owned and controlled by Jain on March 31, 2022.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar releases alleged WhatsApp chats with K. Kavitha, Satyendar Jain

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar has made public his alleged WhatsApp chats with jailed AAP leader Satyendar Jain and K. Kavitha, BRS leader and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.
Presently lodged at the Mandoli Jail in the national capital, Chandrashekhar is accused of extorting Rs 200 crore from a businessman’s wife.
In the purported conversations released on Wednesday, Chandrashekhar alleges that there is a connection between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and the BRS leader with regard to the Delhi excise policy scam.

In a letter directed to Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena, Chandrashekhar has accused AAP and Kejriwal of having multiple contracts and business deals with him.
He wrote, “This very application and attached chats expose the link between the Aam Aadmi party, Arvind Kejriwal and BRS leader K. Kavitha, who are involved in the Delhi liquor scam.”
The allegations levelled by Chandrashekhar have raised concerns about the role of political leaders in the liquor policy scam. Further inquiries will likely provide additional insights into the mater.
Chandrashekhar in his letter stated that the very application and chats attached show the nexus between the Aam Aadmi party, Arvind Kejriwal and Kavitha, who are allegedly involved in the Delhi liquor policy scam.
According to Chandrashekhar, the chats submitted to the L-G will aid the ongoing investigation into the liquor scam.

“The said chats are with regard to Rs 15 crore given by me to Arvind kejriwal and Satyendar Jain which was asked to be delivered to K. Kavitha of the BRS in Hyderabad,” said the letter released through his legal counsel Anant Malik.
According to the screenshots of the alleged chats, it is evident that Chandrashekhar had a coded conversation with a person whose number was saved as ‘Kavita Akka TRS’.
In one of the messages, the sender wrote, “AK bro package has to be given. It’s ready with me.”
Chandrashekhar alleged that this package refers to an amount of Rs 15 crore.
In another chat with a mobile number not saved on his phone, and claimed to be of Satyendar Jain, one of the messages read, “Bro Ghee tin ready. Yes bro 15 Kg.”
Chandrashekhar claimed that in their code words, ‘ghee’ refers to money and 15 kg meant Rs 15 crore.
He also wrote “inform big bro” in the same chat, to which the receiver replied, “AK Bhai knows”.

Satyendar Jain seeks transfer of corruption, money laundering cases to another judge

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyender Jain on Tuesday asked a Delhi court to transfer two cases related to alleged corruption and money laundering brought against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to another judge.
During the hearing, the former Delhi Minister informed Special Judge Vikas Dhull, who is overseeing both cases, that he had filed transfer applications with the Principal District and Sessions Judge.
The proceedings in the CBI corruption case have been temporarily halted by the Principal District Judge until May 4, when arguments on Jain’s transfer application will be heard. Meanwhile, a similar application in the ED’s money laundering case is set to be heard on April 13.

Jain has requested that Special Judge Dhull postpone the matter “to see the outcome of said transfer applications”.
In response to a court inquiry, the ED’s Special Public Prosecutor confirmed that he had received an advance copy of Jain’s application related to the money laundering case.
The court subsequently adjourned the proceedings.
Jain was placed under arrest on May 30, 2022, by the central agency under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
The ED had initiated a money laundering investigation on the basis of the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2017 under Sections 13(2) read with 13(1)(e) of the PC Act, 1988 against Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, and Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, and Ankush Jain.

A charge sheet was filed by the CBI on December 3, 2018, against Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, and other accused.
Earlier, the ED had provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to companies beneficially owned and controlled by Jain on March 31, 2022.

Arrested AAP ministers Sisodia, Satyendar Jain quit Delhi cabinet

[ad_1]
Delhi ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain on Tuesday resigned from their posts in the state cabinet.
According to a report by ANI, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal accepted their resignation.
Manish Sisodia has been in control of 18 ministries, including Satyendar Jain’s health portfolio, who has been in jail for 10 months.
The resignations followed as the BJP questioned why arrested leaders remained in the Delhi administration.
The Delhi cabinet currently has five ministers, including Kejriwal.
This comes very soon after the Supreme Court’s decision to decline a plea by arrested Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia challenging his arrest by the CBI in an alleged case of corruption in the now-withdrawn Delhi liquor policy.

Delhi HC adjourns hearing bail plea of Satyendar Jain and his aides

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday adjourned hearing in bail plea of jailed Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and co-accused Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case.
On February 8, advocate Sushil Kumar Gupta appearing for Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain, the two aides of the Minister had concluded his submissions before a bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma.
He had contended that in the present case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is just investigating the predicate offence and not the money laundering case, and that the ED had presumptively established a case of disproportionate assets (DA), but this could not be their case because the agency must first establish the existence of a scheduled offence.
Citing the Vijay Madan Lal Judgment of the apex court, Gupta had argued that the role that the ED has given to his clients (Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain) in the current case should be different from the CBI case, but the ED has accused them under the same rules.
He had further argued that the “proceeds of crime is the core” that needed to be established in the present case by the ED to have a case against his clients.
Earlier, Gupta, on behalf of his clients, had said: “We have been roped in because the company, as per the Enforcement Directorate, belonged to Satyendar Jain.”
He had added: “We are stating that it is our company, not Satyendar Jain’s.”
The Jains’ counsel had said that Satyendar Jain has nothing to do with the company and that all the companies belong to them.

Special Judge Vikas Dhull had denied the two bail on November 17 last year.
Earlier, Satyendar Jain’s counsel N. Hariharan had asked how is the minister involved in the present case and how is he related to it as the money belonged to Ankush and Vaibhav Jain, which came back to their account without any premium.
“My (Satyendar Jain’s) assets before and after the cheque period remained the same,” he had said.

It is our company, not Satyendar Jain’s: Co-accused tell Delhi HC

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday, while taking note of the submissions of jailed minister Satyendar Jain’s co-accused Ankush and Vaibhav Jain in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case, listed the matter for next hearing on February 8.
Appearing for Ankush and Vaibhav Jain, counsel Sushil Kumar Gupta said: “We have been roped in because the company, as per the Enforcement Directorate, belonged to Satyendar Jain.”
He added: “We are stating that it is our company, not Satyendar Jain’s.”
On Monday, Gupta had said: “Satyendar Jain has nothing to do with the company. All the companies belong to us.”
Special Judge Vikas Dhull had denied the two bail on November 17 last year.
Gupta said: “We were having an effective position in the company. We had sent the money/cash to Kolkata-based companies.”
He argued that there are no “proceeds of crime” in the present case and according to the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) charge-sheet, it is generated only at the end of the cheque period.
“The whole fulcrum of a PMLA case lies on the proceeds of crime,” he said.

Gupta further argued that the present case uses a disproportionate assets (DA) case, which is a period-specific offence, but to establish an offence under the PMLA, the Enforcement Directorate has to establish “proceeds of crime”.
Earlier, Satyendar Jain’s counsel N. Hariharan had asked how is the minister involved in the present case and how is he related to it as the money belonged to Ankush and Vaibhav Jain, which came back to their account without any premium.
“My (Satyendar Jain’s) assets before and after the cheque period remained the same,” he had said.
