Satyendar Jain has never met Delhi Dental Council Registrar Rishiraj and the CBI's claims that it recovered property documents and bank deposit slips linked to the AAP minister from the latter's residence are "lies" as these papers were already in possession of the agency, Delhi government sources have said.
They claimed that these documents including property papers and cheque books were taken away by the agency sleuths during a raid at Health Minister Jain's official residence on August 25 last year.
"The CBI should tell what new discovery it has made and how the documents it seized and showed in its seizure memo of August 25 raid at Jain's residence were found at Rishiraj's premises who was unknown to the minister," one of the sources said.
The CBI yesterday claimed that it had recovered property documents and bank deposit slips of about Rs 2 crore allegedly linked to Jain and companies where he was director during searches at the residence of Rishiraj.
"The properties in question were already disclosed by Jain in his election affidavit as well his tax returns, and the related documents were taken by the CBI in last year's raid at his residence. His transactions were also clean as no cash was involved and all of it were through cheques with no involvement of any strange account," the source claimed.
"They have already questioned him several times and have already taken all the documents and their fresh claims are a farce," the source added.
The sources said that so far the agency has not approached Jain for questioning.
