New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Friday granted an interim bail to ailing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain for six weeks, a day after he was admitted to hospital, media reports said.

Jain was admitted to Delhi's Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital and he was shifted to ICU after he collapsed in the bathroom of Tihar Jail on Thursday.

This was the second time the former Delhi minister was taken to hospital this week.

Jain was arrested on May 30 last year on allegations that he laundered money through four companies owned by him.

The ruling AAP and Jain have denied all the charges levelled against him.

Jain, who was a prominent minister in the Kejriwal government handling various portfolios, resigned from all ministries in January this year.
