ED Files Chargesheet Against Satyendar Jain and 13 Others in Delhi Jal Board Tender Scam

New Delhi, December 8, 2025— The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against former Delhi Minister and AAP leader Satyendar Kumar Jain and 13 others in a money-laundering case linked to alleged corruption in awarding four tenders for Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) under the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).

The chargesheet, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), also names Udit Prakash Rai, the then CEO of the Delhi Jal Board; Ajay Gupta, then Member, DJB; Satish Chandra Vashishth, then Chief Engineer; and several private individuals. The agency said the case stems from an Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) FIR against Euroteck Environmental Pvt. Ltd. (EEPL) and others over alleged irregularities in upgrading and augmenting 10 STPs across Delhi, including at Pappankalan, Nilothi, Najafgarh, Keshopur, Coronation Pillar, Narela, Rohini, and Kondli.

According to the ED, the investigation revealed that EEPL Managing Director Rajakumar Kurra, in collusion with DJB officials and private associates such as Nagendra Yadav, manipulated tender conditions to ensure only “IFAS technology with fixed media” could be used. This move, the agency said, effectively made EEPL the sole eligible supplier and allowed the company to secure the tenders.

The ED stated that its probe has “concluded” that Jain and the other accused “were involved in or assisted in the generation, acquisition, concealment, possession and use of proceeds of crime worth ₹17.70 crore.” The agency had earlier attached movable and immovable assets worth ₹15.36 crore belonging to various individuals connected to the case.

The investigation is ongoing, and further action is expected as the agency continues to examine the flow of funds and roles of those named in the chargesheet.
