AAP’s Satyendar Jain, Ailing, Granted Bail For 6 Weeks By Supreme Court

Satyendar Jain has been in Tihar jail since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case in May last year.

New Delhi:  Supreme Court today granted six weeks interim bail to Delhi’s former minister Satyendar Jain on medical grounds, just a day after he was admitted to an ICU. Jain was admitted to Delhi’s Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital after he collapsed in a bathroom of Tihar Jail due to dizziness.

This was the second time in a week that Jain had to be taken to a hospital for medical attention. On Monday, he was examined at Safdarjung Hospital for a spinal injury that he had sustained earlier from another fall in the jail’s bathroom, according to jail officials.
