New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has given approval for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry against Satyendar Jain, a senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), under the Prevention of Corruption Act, news agency PTI reported.
Jain, currently lodged in jail in connection with a money laundering case, was accused of allegedly extorting Rs 10 crore from an inmate, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, in exchange for providing protection within the prison.
Reacting to this development, AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar condemned the move, attributing it to what she described as the "vindictive and vendetta-filled politics" of the BJP. Kakkar said that Jain, known for introducing the widely acclaimed Mohalla Clinic concept in Delhi, is being “unfairly targeted”.
