A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team on 19 June visited Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain's residence here in regard with an investigation pertaining to an alleged money laundering case.

The CBI also sought clarification from Jain's wife in the connection.

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