New Delhi/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody of Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, who was arrested  in a money laundering case, has been extended till June 13, media reports said.

Satyendar Jain was produced before a Delhi court on Thursday after his ED custody ended.

ED had tweeted earlier that it "has conducted searches on 6.6.2022 under PMLA,2002 at the premises of Satyendar Kumar Jain and others." "Various incriminating documents, digital records, cash amounting to Rs. 2.85 Crore and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg in total from unexplained source have been seized," it posted.

The probe agency had alleged that the minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government was involved in hawala transactions with a Kolkata-based firm in 2015-16.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier had filed a case against Jain and his family in August 2017 for alleged money laundering up to Rs. 1.62 crore.

The CBI alleged that Jain and his family set 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.

The ED then started its probe into the money laundering allegations based on the CBI's first information report or FIR.

AAP earlier called it a fake case.
