AAP leader Satyendar Jain moves court seeking bail in money laundering case
New Delhi (PTI): Jailed former Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain on Thursday moved a city court seeking bail in a money laundering case.
Special Judge Rakesh Syal issued notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and asked it to file its response to Jain's application by September 25, when the court will hear the matter.
Jain was produced before the court after expiry of his judicial custody granted earlier. The judge extended his custody further.
He was taken into custody by the ED under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED had arrested the AAP leader on May 30, 2022 on the charge of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
It had lodged the case on the basis of an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

CEO’s Rs 14 lakh Louis Vuitton dog suitcase triggers social media debate
New Delhi: An Indian CEO has triggered widespread debate on social media after reportedly spending Rs 14 lakh on a Louis Vuitton suitcase designed for his dog. Ajay Thakore, CEO of Doctor Multimedia, shared a video on Instagram showcasing the extravagant purchase, which has since drawn mixed reactions.
In the video, Thakore is seen entering a Louis Vuitton store, stating, "I think my dog has something to pick up." He then reveals the "Bone Trunk," a bone-shaped, hard-shell suitcase complete with a varnished wooden tray and two bowls. The video’s caption read, "Aspen's always spending money like there's no tomorrow. $20k Louis Vuitton bone trunk."
The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing shock and disbelief. Some criticized the CEO’s indulgence, questioning the morality of spending such a large sum on a pet accessory when pressing issues like poverty and animal welfare exist. Comments ranged from disbelief to sharp criticism, with one user remarking, "Imagine how far $20k would go at an animal rescue." Others viewed it as a reflection of societal excess, calling it a "grotesque illustration of what's wrong in society."
However, Thakore also found support from some users, who defended his right to spend his wealth as he pleased. One commenter noted the irony of criticism coming from people who indulge in expensive gadgets, writing, "It's funny how many condemn this spending yet think nothing of buying an $800 iPhone without considering charity."
