New Delhi: A court here on Tuesday rejected the plea of ​​senior AAP leader Satyendar Jain, accused in a money laundering case, seeking four weeks' interim bail to take care of his injured wife and ailing daughter.

According to Jain's application, his wife Poonam Jain, who is an accused in the case, has suffered a fracture in her right leg, which requires "constant personal attention and care".

It added that his younger daughter is also suffering from some ailments and needs constant care.

"The wife of the applicant (Jain), apart from handling her own care and other matters, is also unable to take care of her younger daughter due to her present condition. There is no one else in the family to support her. Since the other daughter is married, She is living in her matrimonial home and has a 7-month-old child to take care of,” the application said.

The ED had arrested Jain, a former cabinet minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government, on May 30, 2022, on charges of money laundering through four companies allegedly linked to him.

It had arrested Jain on the basis of a CBI FIR registered against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
