New Delhi, July 29

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today said a special local court here has taken cognisance of the chargesheet it has filed against Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and his associates. The agency has stated in the chargesheet that the accused have “utilised” hawala funds to purchase agricultural lands in and around the Capital and also to repay loans taken for similar transactions.

The ED said the prosecution complaint was filed before a special PMLA court here on July 27 and the court on Friday took its cognisance. The ED has named Satyendar Jain, his wife Poonam Jain and associates Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain, and companies Akinchan Developers Pvt. Ltd, Paryas Infosolutions Pvt Ltd, Manglayatan Developers Pvt. Ltd and JJ Ideal Estate Pvt. Ltd. in the chargesheet.

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).
