CBI questions Satyendra Jain, two others in jail

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has quizzed Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain in Tihar Jail in connection with its ongoing probe into the Delhi government's now-scrapped liquor policy.

The agency had moved an application before a special CBI court last week to quiz Jain. As per available information Jain was quizzed by the agency in Tihar jail on Monday. Jain is not a formal accused in the case.

The agency also questioned AAP's communication in-charge Vijay Nair and Hyderabad-based businessman Abhishek Boinpally, who are also lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with the same case.


Earlier this month, the agency had arrested Butchi Babu Gorantla for his alleged role in the same case. Babu is believed to be a former aide of BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, whose name has been mentioned in the liquor scam case.

A local court last month had taken cognisance of the supplementary charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with its money laundering probe into the Delhi government's scrapped liquor policy.
