What The ACB Said
The Anti-Corruption Bureau opposed the bail plea, alleging that Jain is a habitual offender and arguing that the court should take this into account while deciding his bail application.
Jain was arrested by the ACB on August 18 over alleged irregularities in the tendering process for Delhi Jal Board sewage treatment plant (STP) projects. A case was registered against him under relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code.
The case was registered in May 2024 following a complaint by the Delhi government's Vigilance Directorate. It involves allegations of manipulation of tender conditions, criminal conspiracy and suspected bribe payments in contracts related to the upgradation of sewage treatment plants under the Delhi Jal Board.
