A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team on Monday visited Delhi Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendra Jain's residence in regard with an investigation pertaining to an alleged money laundering case and sought clarification from his wife in this connection.

The agency had registered a preliminary enquiry against Satyendra Jain in April to inquire into allegations of money laundering against him. CBI sources said the agency had sought time from the minister's wife.

It is alleged that Jain was involved in money laundering to the tune of Rs 4.63 crore while being a public servant during 2015-16.

The case against Jain was referred to the CBI by Income Tax Department against the new Benami Transactions Prohibitions Act.
