The 60-year-old politician deposed before the investigators at ED headquarters earlier this morning and the financial probe agency is examining his role in suspected financial misconduct during his tenure.

The case pertains to alleged procedural lapses and irregular contracts awarded under the DJB, which is responsible for water supply and sewage disposal in the capital.

Jain, who previously held the water portfolio in the Delhi government and also served as DJB Chairman, has been under the scrutiny of central agencies in multiple cases, including those involving money laundering.

According to the ED and other investigative agencies, several contracts issued by the DJB during Jain's tenure as the Water Minister are under scrutiny. These contracts allegedly involved inflated project costs, favoritism in awarding tenders, and possible kickbacks.
