New Delhi, June 19 (IBNS) : Few days after their unwelcome visit to Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers on Monday knocked at the doors of Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Monday and questioned his wife in connection with an alleged money laundering case, reports said.

CBI said it was done in connection with a "preliminary enquiry" into the 4.63 crore  money laundering case that dates bck to 2015-16 when Jain was a public servant.

However, accusing the Central Government of resorting to  “vendetta politics”, Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party said in a tweet :  “Central Govt of BJP is misusing CBI for its vendetta politics. After Dy CM Manish Sisodia, BJP’s CBI raids on Minister”.

In June, the CBI had questioned Jain for  a preliminary enquiry (PE) into accusations of money laundering.
