NEW DELHI: The AAP on Saturday drew flak as videos purportedly showing its jailed Delhi minister Satyendar Jain receiving massage and meeting visitors in his prison cell emerged, with the opposition BJP and Congress demanding his sacking and questioning the “silence” of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
While Jain moved a court here seeking contempt proceedings against the Enforcement Directorate for allegedly leaking the CCTV footage, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia defended his colleague, claiming he was receiving physiotherapy following a spinal injury, and accused the BJP of doing “cheap” politics on his health issues.
Sisodia, who is currently in charge of the Prison department that was earlier held by Jain, alleged he has been framed in a false case and that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is resorting to such “theatrics’’ as it is “losing the MCD and Gujarat polls”.
Earlier this week, a Tihar jail superintendent was suspended for alleged involvement in providing special treatment to Jain in the prison. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had claimed in a court that Jain was getting special treatment inside the Tihar Jail including massage and special food, and provided CCTV footage to substantiate the claim.
On Saturday, Special Judge Vikas Dhull issued a notice to the ED seeking its response by Monday on Jain’s plea that accused the agency of leaking the CCTV footage “despite an undertaking given in the court” that no material related to the case will be divulged to the media.
