Delhi Court Grants Bail to Satyendar Jain in DJB Case

Delhi Court Grants Bail to Satyendar Jain in DJB Case

A Delhi court gave Satyendar Jain bail in a corruption case involving a water board tender.

Investigators say the tender rules were changed to help a private company.

They also allege that Jain, who was the minister at the time, helped a larger conspiracy.

Jain has not been found guilty, and the case will still go to trial.

The judge said the evidence linking Jain to the alleged kickbacks was not strong enough to keep him in custody.

The judge also questioned why Jain was arrested so late in the investigation.

The court said important documents and electronic evidence had already been collected.

Jain must follow strict rules while free, including surrendering his passport.

He must return whenever investigators or the court require him.
