he Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against AAP senior leader and former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, along with 14 others, in connection with the alleged corruption linked to the Delhi Jal Board’s (DJB) sewage treatment plant (STP) tenders.

The chargesheet was submitted on December 6 before the Rouse Avenue Court under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). According to the ED, its investigation indicates that Satyendar Jain, former DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, ex-engineer-in-chief Anup Gupta, and other officials and private individuals were allegedly involved in irregularities that resulted in unlawful gains estimated at ₹17.70 crore.

The agency has alleged that the accused were involved in generating illegal proceeds, concealing them, and using the money through various channels. The complaint also links the accused to financial misconduct and procedural violations during the award and execution of DJB contracts.

In the supplementary charge details, the ED has sought permission to prosecute all 14 accused for money-laundering offences and has requested the court to take cognizance of the findings.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) welcomed the filing of the chargesheet. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said the development strengthens the case against those allegedly involved in corruption during the previous administration. He stated that the party hopes for strict punishment for those responsible.

The case continues to be monitored closely as the court evaluates the ED’s submissions and prepares for the next phase of proceedings.
