NEW DELHI: AAP leader and Delhi's former minister Satyendra Jain walked out of Tihar Jail on Friday evening after he was granted bail in the money laundering case.
Upon his exit from the jail, Jain was greeted by Delhi chief minister Atishi and other senior AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh. Sisodia embraced Jain as he stepped out of the jail premises.
A large gathering of AAP supporters had assembled outside Tihar Jail to celebrate the former health minister's release, who was in jail for around two years.
" Arvind Kejriwal , Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and I have come out of jail, and we will complete all the stalled work in Delhi now. Arvind Kejriwal had promised to clean the River Yamuna. Based on his promise, we were working day and night to clean the River Yamuna. I was arrested to stop this," said AAP leader Satyendar Jain after walking out of Tihar Jail.
Jain's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took place on May 30, 2022, based on allegations of money laundering through four companies purportedly connected to him. The Rouse Avenue court in Delhi granted bail to Jain earlier in the day, citing "delay in trial" and his "long incarceration" as the reasons for its decision.
The AAP welcomed the court's verdict, proclaiming it as a triumph of truth and a defeat of another alleged conspiracy by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The ED's case against Jain originated from an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
In response to the court's decision, the AAP posted on X, saying, "Satyamev Jayate. Another conspiracy of BJP failed as Satyendra Jain ji, who brought about health revolution in Delhi by building magnificent Mohalla Clinics, got bail from the court. The real face of BJP has been exposed again now in front of the entire country."
