The Delhi High Court has turned down the pleas of two accused men seeking default bail in connection with a money laundering case involving senior AAP leader Satyendar Jain. The court maintained that the charge sheet filed against them was complete.

Upholding a trial court's decision, the High Court confirmed that Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain could still seek regular bail based on the merits of the case. The Enforcement Directorate has accused them of being business associates of Satyendar Jain and involved in laundering money through four companies.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna emphasized that supplementary evidence to support the main charge sheet doesn't render it incomplete. Further investigations are supplemental, and they do not affect the completeness of the initial complaint, thus denying default bail to the applicants.
