Ajit Kumar was the superintendent of jail number 7, where Jain is lodged since May 31 in a money-laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He was suspended in November for allegedly being involved in providing "special treatment" to the Delhi minister.
In videos released earlier, Jain could be seen getting back, foot and head massages in his cell, reading some documents and talking to visitors.
Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta, who shared the video on Twitter, said it showed Kumar visiting Jain inside his jail at 7.52pm on September 12. "The former prison minister is getting a royal treatment. Now the jail superintendent has come to mark his attendance and ensure that there are no lapses is ensuring a royal treatment for him," Gupta posted on Twitter.
Until his arrest in the ED case, Jain, Delhi's former health minister, also held the prisons portfolio.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections had become a contest between "10 videos of the BJP and 10 tasks performed by the Kejriwal government. The people will respond on December 4, he said in an apparent reference to the string of videos featuring Jain.
The MCD elections will be held on December 4 and the results will be declared on December 7.
On November 14, Kumar was suspended as Tihar superintendent for circumventing rules and giving special facilities to Jain.
