LG nod for CBI probe against Satyendar Jain in Sukesh’s extortion complaint

Date:

New Delhi: Delhi LG V K Saxena has granted sanction for a CBI probe against former minister Satyendar Jain in a complaint of extortion filed by money laundering accused Sukesh Chandrashekhar, officials said on Saturday.

Jain is accused of extorting Rs 10 crore from Chandrashekhar as “protection money”.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that the BJP was so scared of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that it was using a “conman” to defame the party and its leaders.

The LG has given his nod for a CBI inquiry against Jain under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, they said.

Jain, a former home minister in the Kejriwal government, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case in May 2022 and is lodged in Tihar jail.
