New Delhi, Nov 27: A day after Satyendar Jain, a Delhi Minister and the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was criticised by a Delhi court for receiving VVIP treatment in Tihar jail, sources claimed that up to ten staff were assigned to take care of Jain’s needs within his chamber.
Satyendar Jain’s needs were attended to by eight persons in particular, who also cleaned his room, made his bed, and gave him outside food, mineral water, fruits, and clothing. According to sources at Tihar prison, he was overseen by two other people. On Saturday, the Rouse Avenue court rejected Satyendar Jain’s request for special food in custody.

Jain said in his petition that he was denied access to the temple and “Jain cuisine,” that he doesn’t eat conventional food without visiting the temple, and that he has been following a “religious” diet of fruits and salad for the previous three days.
The Tihar Jail administration was asked by the court on Wednesday to respond to the AAP leader’s complaint that he was not receiving adequate nutrition. The administration responded by stating that the Central Jail’s Superintendent’s office did not have any requests on file.
He can now be seen engaging with inmates in yet another CCTV video that shows cleaning activities taking place in the incarcerated minister’s cell. Jain’s request for access to fruits and dried fruits while incarcerated was denied by special judge Vikas Dhull.
In addition to this, Jain frequently had Rinku, a rape suspect, massage his body. Now, it will be investigated to determine if these ten people are prisoners or if they were outsiders who had free access to the minister.
After being detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in May in connection with an alleged money laundering case, Jain was taken to the Tihar jail.
