Minutes after the union Home Ministry granted sanction to prosecute Satyendra Kumar Jain, Minister in Delhi Government in a case registered by Central Bureau of Investigation for acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, Delhi Government spokesperson Nagender Sharma said that Narendra Modi government cannot even do witch hunting properly.

While reacting on the Ministry of Home Affair's (MHA) sanction to prosecute Jain, Sharma on Thursday took to social media micro-blogging site Twitter to say: "Modi government's discredited caged parrot CBI which is gasping for survival registers a fake case against Satyendra Jain and Modi government's MHA says it has given prosecution sanction. Modi regime cannot even do witch hunting properly."

Earlier in the day, official sources revealed that MHA has granted permission to prosecute Satyendra Jain in a case registered by CBI on August 24, 2017, for acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
