New Delhi, June 9

A special court here today granted four-day custody of Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain to the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.

Special Judge Geetanjli Goel extended Jain’s custody till June 13 on the ED’s application that sought his further custody for five more days.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the agency, told the court that during his earlier custody, the ED conducted searches at several places and that certain incriminating material, including cash and documents, were found. He told the court that the agency needed to confront Jain with certain documents.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Jain, opposed the Enforcement Directorate’s application, saying the accused was already in the ED’s custody and that there was no ground for further extending his custody.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
