Jain was remanded in the custody of the ED by special judge Geetanjali Goel, who noted that his interrogation in custody was necessary to uncover the bigger arrangement. N Hari Haran, a senior attorney, represented Jain, while Tushar Mehta, the solicitor general, represented the central agency. The ED case against his cabinet colleague is a fraud (farzi), according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who also stated that his government "is honest and does not tolerate corruption." “We have faith in judiciary. This farzi (fake) case won't last. We are following the path of truth," Kejriwal told journalists. The central agency's investigation is based on a 2017 case in which the AAP leader and his wife Poonam Jain were accused of amassing excessive assets worth Rs.1.47 crore between February 2015 and May 2017, which was more than double their known sources of income. After four hours of questioning on Monday, the Delhi minister was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), during which he allegedly offered vague answers on the money trail.
