He has long been embroiled in a hawala case. In January he had received an IT notice from an Additional Commissioner based in Delhi regarding this matter. The CBI too had registered a preliminary inquiry against Satyendra Jain in April.

Reacting to that, AAP rebel MLA Kapil Mishra tweeted it is matter of time before Jain is jailed.

Earlier, Mishra had also alleged that Jain gave Rs. 2 crore to Arvind Kejriwal in cash at latter’s residence. Mishra has also alleged that Jain had “settled” a Rs. 50 crore land deal for Arvind Kejriwal’s brother in law.

Aam Aadmi Party, in its defence tweeted a July 2017 note calling the CBI a caged parrot.

Aam Aadmi Party claims the allegations are false and the CBI is misused to “intimidate Aam Aadmi Party leaders into silence.”

Aam Aadmi Party machinery immediately got working to show how this is a political vendetta against the only politicians who work.

The above tweet was retweeted by AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who spent most of 2016 spreading lies.

At least they’re toeing the line.
