The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday questioned Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain's wife Poonam Jain in connection with an alleged money laundering case.

Poonam Jain deposed before the investigators at the ED's headquarters almost two months after her husband was arrested by the agency in the same case on May 30.

The ED on July 1, also arrested two associates of Satyendar Jain - Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain - in the case.

The ED on June 6 had seized cash worth Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg from Satyendra Jain's aides during its day-long raids conducted at various places across Delhi and the National Capital Region.

The agency had also claimed to have seized various incriminating documents and digital records during these raids.

The ED initiated a money laundering investigation against Jain and his accomplices on the basis of the First Information Report registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 24, 2017.
