India's top financial probe agency, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has arrested Delhi’s Health Minister Satyendar Kumar Jain on Monday in connection to a money laundering case. Jain is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party.
The ED alleged that Kolkata-based companies owned by Jain received up to INR 48.1 million ($620,106) from shell companies through hawala transactions, or informal payment methods based on trust, during 2015-2016.
The money was allegedly credited to Jain’s companies against cash transferred to state-based operators, and was used to purchase land and repay loans taken to buy agricultural land in and around Delhi.
