New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Monday the plea of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra challenging his arrest and remand by the ED in a money laundering case linked to a bank fraud case.

The matter is likely to be heard by a vacation bench of Justices CT Ravi Kumar and Manoj Mishra. The apex court had earlier refused to grant interim bail to the Punjab MLA to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court had also dismissed the petition challenging the arrest of the MLA, saying that there was no illegality in it. In May 2023, the CBI raided premises linked to Gajjan Majra in connection with a bank fraud case of Rs 40 crore.

In September 2022, the ED raided several premises linked to him as part of a money laundering investigation in connection with a bank loan fraud. The ED team had seized Rs 32 lakh in cash, some mobile phones and hard drives.
