    A fresh CCTV video has emerged showing housekeeping services in the cell of jailed Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain. In the two-minute-long post by news agency ANI, two persons can be seen making Jain’s bed inside the cell of Delhi’s Tihar prison, where he is lodged after being arrested in a money laundering case probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

    Jain is also seen interacting with some people, including the now-suspended Tihar Jail superintendent, Ajit Kumar. Delhi chief secretary Naresh Kumar has suspended Ajit Kumar. This is the latest in a series of videos that have emerged in the past few days showing Jain is in good health and being given proper treatment inside the jail. 

    Earlier, a video had emerged in which Jain was seen taking a massage service by a fellow inmate. The video triggered a huge controversy over the ‘special treatment’ being given to jailed minister in Tihar, which is run by the Delhi government of Arvind Kejriwal. The BJP slammed the Delhi chief minister and asked him how could Jain be given such a facility. 

    The AAP, however, defended the video saying Jain was sick and the doctors had advised him to bed rest and regular physiotherapy. However, later it turned out that the person who was giving him a massage was not a physiotherapist but a rape accused. 

    Jain recently claimed that he was not getting proper food and that he had lost 28 kgs. However, a new video surfaced to prove that he was getting good quality food. In the video, Jain was seen enjoying his meal in jail. 

    According to the news agency, Tihar Jail sources said that the minster had gained 8 kg of weight while being in jail, contrary to his lawyer’s claims of him having lost 28 kgs.

    On Saturday, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court said that the loss of weight of Jain was on account of his not consuming regular food and the jail administration was not responsible for the same.

    The ED initiated the money laundering investigation on the basis of an FIR filed by the CBI on 24 August 2017. 

    The CBI filed a chargesheet on 3 December 2018 against Satyendar Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, and Ankush Jain. The central agency said that Jain while holding the office as a minister during the period 14 February 2015 to 31 May 2017 had acquired assets that were disproportionate to his known sources of income.

  • ‘Even Ajmal Kasab got…’: Satyendar Jain defends viral massage video, says no rules violated

    ‘Even Ajmal Kasab got…’: Satyendar Jain defends viral massage video, says no rules violated

    [ad_1]

    Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain, who is currently in jail on charges of money laundering, on Tuesday told a trial court that he has not been getting proper food and medical check-up in Tihar Jail and has lost around 28 kg weight in custody. 

    He also alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is investigating the minister, is leaking sensitive information to the media despite the order of the court and undertaking given in this court.

    Jain was referring to a video in which he is seen taking massage from a person inside the jail.   

    “I am defamed every single minute by their act,” Jain submitted to the court through his counsel Rahul Mehra.

    Mehra also denied the claims that Jain was getting privileged treatment in Tihar Jail. 

    “I have lost 28 kg in jail. Is this what a privileged person in jail gets? I’m not even getting proper food. What privilege are they talking about? No prison rules are violated if an undertrial is pressing his hand or feet,” Jain was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI.

    Mehra also submitted that the probe agencies have already put Jain on the gallows. He said even Ajmal Kasab got a free and fair trial and Jain was surely not worse than him. 

    “Even Ajmal Kasab got a free and fair trial. I am surely not worse than that. All I seek is a fair and free trial. Please look at the kind of media reports that are running against him and that is in their interest,” Mehra submitted to the court.

    Last week, Jain moved the special court with an application seeking contempt action against the ED. He alleged that the central agency has leaked the CCTV videos despite the undertaking given in the court. 

    Today, ED’s advocate Zohaib Hossain denied the leak allegations and said that the agency will see that guilty are brought to justice. He said presuming a leak on the agency’s behalf is preposterous. He said there has been no leak and there will be no leak by the agency.

    AAP minister Satyendar Jain demands fruits, salad diet inside jail

    Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Satyendar Jain who is currently lodged in Tihar jail over alleged money laundering, approached a CBI court on Monday demanding access to a ‘religious diet’. He demanded fruits and salads and said that he was not given ‘Jain food’.

    Jain, in an application filed in the court stated that he was not given access to the temple and was not given ‘Jain food’. He said that he does not eat regular food without going to the temple. He said that he cannot have ‘grains or milk products’ without going to the temple. Jain also said in his application that he was not given a fruits and salad diet for the past two days. 

    Jain’s petition will be heard in the CBI court today. 

    The application further claimed that for the past six months, he has been surviving only on fruits, vegetables, seeds and dry fruits that he purchased from his own quota of ration available to inmates. He suffered a major fall that led to a spine injury, and was treated in LNJP Hospital.  

    But for the past few days the jail administration has stopped providing him basic food as per his religious beliefs, the application stated. It called stopping food items during religious fasting illegal and arbitrary. 

    The applicant is being starved by the jail authorities and not given sustenance or nutrition, mentioned the application. It also stated that Jain was due for a medical check-up but was not allowed by the jail authorities. 

    The application comes after videos of Jain receiving massages and meeting visitors in his prison cell emerged. BJP and Congress demanded his sacking and a probe into violation of jail rules. Following this, Jain sought contempt proceedings against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly leaking CCTV footage of his prison cell to the media.

    Jain was arrested in a money laundering case based on a CBI FIR lodged against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He is accused of having laundered money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
