The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached immovable properties worth ₹7.44 crore, belonging to companies beneficially owned and controlled by former Delhi Minister Satyendar Kumar Jain, the agency said on Tuesday (September 23, 2025).
The ED initiated its probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act based on a First Information Report registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Mr. Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, and others.
It was alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, while posted and functioning as a Minister in the Delhi government, acquired assets from February 14, 2015 to May 31, 2017 disproportionate to his known sources of income. The CBI filed a chargesheet against him and others in December 2018.
In its case, the ED had earlier attached immovable properties worth ₹4.81 crore belonging to the companies “beneficially owned and controlled” by Mr. Jain on March 31, 2022, and filed a prosecution complaint the same year in July.
Based on the findings, the ED has alleged that in November 2016, soon after demonetisation, Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain, close associates and ‘benamis’ of Mr. Jain, deposited ₹7.44 crore in cash in Bank of Baroda, Bhogal branch (Delhi), as advance tax under the Income Disclosure Scheme, 2016.
