Satyendar Jain's Jail Departure: AAP's Cause for Celebration

Senior AAP leader and former Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain was released from Tihar Jail after being granted bail in a money laundering case. Jain's release prompted celebrations amongst AAP members and supporters. The bail was granted due to prolonged trial delays, with AAP hailing it as a victory over BJP 'conspiracy'.

Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former health minister of Delhi, Satyendar Jain, was released from Tihar Jail on Friday evening after receiving bail in a money laundering case.

The bail was awarded by a city court citing 'delay in trial' and 'long incarceration'. Politicians, including Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and prominent AAP members Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, were present to welcome Jain upon his release after nearly two years in jail.

The Enforcement Directorate had arrested Jain on May 30, 2022, on allegations of laundering money through multiple companies reportedly linked to him. Hundreds of AAP supporters gathered outside the prison to celebrate his release, with the party describing the court's decision as a triumph of truth against a so-called BJP 'conspiracy'.
