NEW DELHI: Jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain was rushed to Safdarjung Hospital on Monday. There is no clarity on why the former minister was taken to the hospital, however, reports say there has been a deterioration in his health.

Satyendar Jain has lost 35 kgs

The Supreme Court on Thursday last week had issued a notice on a bail plea by Satyendar Jain in a money laundering case. Senior advocate AM Singhvi, representing Jain, submitted before a bench comprising AS Bopanna and Hima Kohli that his client has extreme health problems, he has lost 35 kgs and is a skeleton now.
The apex court issued notice on Jain’s plea and also gave him liberty to move the court’s vacation bench seeking urgent listing of his plea against a Delhi high court judgment denying him bail. The bench said, “Issue notice…liberty to move vacation bencha.” Additional Solicitor General SV Raju appeared for the Enforcement Directorate.
In April this year, the Delhi High Court had dismissed Jain and his two aides’ bail pleas in a money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Jain has been in custody since May 30 last year. A trial court had, on November 17, 2022, dismissed the leader’s bail application.
