The federal investigative agency has accused Jain of living a luxurious lifestyle in Tihar prison and also meeting the co-defendant in the case. Jain’s wife Poonam has been granted admission to meet him in the cell, and she is also meeting the Delhi minister outside the allowed limits, the ED had told the court.
The CCTV footage submitted by the ED shows an unknown person giving a foot and body massage to the AAP leader in his cell. The video footage also showed that the prison warden met him regularly.
Jain has access to homemade food despite court order, according to the affidavit filed in court. The ED has also claimed that Jain met a co-defendant in his cell for hours.
However, the prison administration claims that no one from outside has visited the detained minister’s cell. During the morning headcount, all detainees present in the ward can talk to each other. The co-defendant being talked about is also in the same ward as Jain, so they can talk among themselves, it says, emphasizing that if everyone goes to their own cell, they won’t be able to go to each other’s cells after counting. The administration of Tihar has also denied that Jain has access to any kind of electronic gadget.
Jain is among others the Minister of Health, Home Affairs, Power and PWD in the Delhi Aam Aadmi Party-led government.
The ED money laundering case against the AAP minister stems from an August 2017 initial information report (FIR) by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against him and others on charges of alleged possession of disproportionate assets.
