New Delhi: The bail application of Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and two others in the money laundering case is denied by the Rouse Avenue Court. The Enforcement Directorate arrested Jain on May 30th under sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The order was supposed to be issued on Wednesday by Special Judge Vikas Dhull, but it was postponed because the order was not ready. According to the news agency PTI, Jain had requested bail, claiming that keeping him in custody would be futile. According to PTI, the judge reserved the order after hearing arguments from the accused, including Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain, as well as the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
