The Enforcement Directorate has filed a chargesheet against former Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain and 13 others under the anti-money laundering law. The charges relate to alleged corruption in the awarding of tenders for Delhi Jal Board's sewage treatment plants, as announced by the agency on Monday.

The prosecution complaint was submitted to a Delhi court on December 6. The Enforcement Directorate is seeking prosecution of all 14 accused individuals under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), according to an official statement to PTI.

The investigation has reportedly concluded that Jain, alongside former DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, ex-DJB member Ajay Gupta, and former chief engineer Satish Chandra Vashishth, were involved in illicit activities. Private entities including Euroteck Environmental Pvt Ltd and individuals such as Raja Kumar Kurra, Vinod Chauhan, and Nagendra Yadav were also implicated in generating, acquiring, concealing, possessing, and using proceeds of crime amounting to Rs 17.70 crore.

The investigation specifically focuses on alleged corruption in the awarding of four sewage treatment plant tenders by the Delhi Jal Board.
