On Saturday, 18 July, a Jaipur court sent Sanjay Jain to four-day remand of Special Operations Group (SOG) team of Rajasthan Police.

On Friday, Rajasthan Police SOG had arrested Jain under charges of sedition and criminal conspiracy, for allegedly trying to topple the Rajasthan government.

This came amid the political crisis in Rajasthan, with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot facing a rebellion from his erstwhile deputy Sachin Pilot.

Jain was arrested under sections 124A (sedition) and 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC), ANI reported. His arrest came soon after the SOG lodged two FIRs over a purported audio clip pertaining to a conspiracy to destabilise the Rajasthan government.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Laxmikant Bhardwaj on Friday filed a complaint against Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala and Govind Singh Dotasra, among others, over the allegedly manufactured audio clip and 'false statements' by the Congress.
