New Delhi: A CCTV footage of Delhi minister Satyendra Jain receiving full body massage inside Tihar jail surfaced on the social media on Saturday. Senior AAP leader & minister in Delhi govt was put behind bars on May 30 over money laundering allegations. The video lays bare the lax regulations inside jail and also how VIP treatment is being provided to a ‘VIP prisoner’.
In the CCTV footage, the Delhi Minister can be seen lying on his read and reading some papers while a person gives him foot massage.
As the VIP treatment to jailed AAP leader surfaced, BJP lashed out at Kejriwal administration for taking the law for a ride and also questioned its integrity for treating a ‘prisoner as VIP guest’.

Slamming the AAP govt, Poonawala said that Hawalabaaz hasn’t got bail in past 5 months but the is abusing his position for Vasooli.
All this is being done with the blessings of Arvind Kejriwal, he added.
The video of VIP treatment to jailed AAP leader comes days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed complaint in court, claiming that he wa getting special treatment in Tihar jail. The agency had also submitted footage of AAP minister purportedly getting body massage inside his cell. Footage also showed him meeting the jail superintendent regularly.
Following this, BJP had also demanded his shifting to some other prison in the city.
The same charge was denied by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) however, the footage punches holes in its claims and shows the special treatment meted out to jailed minister.
AAP too has hit back at the BJP over ‘leaking’ video from jail and said that the latter was resorting to ‘dirty tactics’ for scoring political points. The party said that Jain’s condition required him to undergo physiotherapy sessions and everything is on record.
