President Droupadi Murmu has granted prosecution sanctions against Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain in the Enforcement Directorate probe.
Last week, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) requested the President grant prosecution sanctions against the former Delhi minister.
The MHA sought the sanction against Satyendar Jain, 60, under Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. The request for sanction was made based on an ED investigation and the presence of “adequate evidence”, unnamed officials earlier told news agency PTI.
