New Delhi, June 9: Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain was rushed to a hospital on Thursday while leaving the Rouse Avenue Court where his hearing against custody by the Enforcement Directorate took place.
Jain complained of uneasiness while leaving the court premises and was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital.
Jain was produced in the Rouse Avenue Court after his nine day custody to the ED ended on Thursday. However, the Delhi court has extended his custody by 5 more days till June 13.
The central probe agency had argued in the court that they needed to confront him with documents recovered during the raids.
The ED had recovered cash worth Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg during raids against Jain and his aides on Monday.
The senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was arrested on May 30 by the ED under the sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case connected to hawala transactions related to a Kolkata-based company.
The Delhi Minister and his family have been accused of setting up four shell firms – companies with no real business – to launder Rs 11.78 crore in 2011-12 and Rs 4.63 crore in 2015-16.
