CBI questions AAP Minister's wife in money laundering case

It was alleged that Jain was involved in money laundering to the tune of Rs 4.63 crore while being a public servant during 2015-16 through Prayas Info Solutions Private Limited, Akinchan Developers Private Limited and Managalyatan Projects Private Limited, the CBI sources said.

According to PTI, the team had gone to seek clarifications from the minister's wife in connection with an ongoing inquiry into allegations of money laundering.

Earlier this month, the CBI had grilled the Minister for two consecutive days.

Bharadwaj challenged the probe agency to confront three more witnesses, examined by the CBI, with Jain so as to bring out the truth in the case. Jain has been asking CBI to produce these two men before us but they have failed.

One of the witnesses, Babloo Pathak has denied any relation with Jain after he was brought face-to-face with the Minister. "The call records from 2010 to 2014 have been extracted but during this period no call was made to Kolkata", the statement, titled "Facts of BJP's CBI raid on Satyendra Jain", reads.

AAP leader Saurabh Bhardawaj, addressing a press conference, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using the CBI and Income Tax Department for fabricating evidence against the Minister. "After Dy CM Manish Sisodia, BJP's CBI raids on Minister", the party said in a tweet.
