The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday took big action against Delhi Minister Satyendra Jain and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut. It has attached properties worth Rs 4.81 crore of the family and companies "beneficially owned and controlled" by Delhi minister Satyendra Jain in connection with a money-laundering probe.
Satyendra Jain has served as a minister under the Kejriwal-led government. He looked after the health, power, home, PWD, industries, urban development, flood, irrigation and water departments.
In the first case, the Enforcement Directorate has hooked property worth Rs 11 crore. Out of this, 9 crores are owned by Pravin Raut. At the same time, the property of 2 crores belongs to Sanjay Raut's wife. The Enforcement Directorate has attached the property of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut's wife in the Rs 1,034-crore Patra rice land scam case.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said, “We have taken the property from our hard-earned money. We were neither questioned nor investigated properly by the ED. He said that we have taken this property from the money we earn. Raut said that if even a single rupee is found in my earnings for money laundering, then I will donate all the property to the BJP. He said that this entire action is political.”
