Satyendar Jain, who was arrested last year has been in high-security jail. On May 11, he had written a letter and requested the prison administration to lodge him with more inmates in a letter.
He cited depression & need for more social interactions.
In the letter, he said that he was feeling depressed and low because of loneliness.
In the letter, he also mentioned two names.
After this, two prisoners were shifted to the former minister’s cell by the Superintendent of jail no 7.
Soon the administration came to know about it, they were immediately shifted back to their respective cells.
Official said that the decision to move to prisoners in Satyendar Jain cell was taken without discussing the matter with the jail administration.
This move has also raised security concern.
Last year, a official incharge of the prision was suspended for alleged VIP treatment to the former minister.
