The probe agency had alleged that the minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government was involved in hawala transactions with a Kolkata-based firm in 2015-16.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier had filed a case against Jain and his family in August 2017 for alleged money laundering up to Rs. 1.62 crore.
The CBI alleged that Jain and his family set up four shell firms, companies with no real business, to launder Rs. 11.78 crore in 2011-12 and Rs. 4.63 crore in 2015-16.
The ED then started its probe into the money laundering allegations based on the CBI's first information report or FIR.
AAP earlier called it a fake case.
