New Delhi, June 17

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting searches at multiple locations here in connection with the case against arrested Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Sources said raids are being conducted at nearly 10 residential and official premises linked to several property dealers and other business entities.

The 57-year-old Jain was arrested by the ED on May 30 under the criminal Sections of the PMLA and is in judicial custody at present.

Jain, a minister without portfolio in the AAP Government in Delhi, is being probed by the agency under the PMLA on charges of alleged hawala dealings.

Earlier, the ED had on March 31, 2022, provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to companies beneficially owned and controlled by Jain.

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).
