The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the regular bail plea of former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain in a money laundering case investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). A bench of justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, who was out on interim bail, has also been asked to "surrender forthwith".
The top court dismissed an oral plea by Jain's legal representative to grant him a week's grace period for surrendering. On January 17, the top court had reserved its verdict on his regular bail plea.
Jain, who was granted release from jail on medical grounds for over nine months, will now be returning to prison. Alongside him, AAP leaders Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair are also in Tihar.
