BJP minister Meenakshi Lekhi demands transfer of Satyendra Jain from Delhi jail

Addressing a press conference, Lekhi alleged that Jain was doing "extortion" from inside the jail, citing a letter by criminal Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

"I request the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, the Delhi government and the judiciary to shift Jain to some other jail outside Delhi as he may misuse his position as a minister to continue with the extortion," she said.

In his letter, Chandrashekhar has reportedly said that Jain had asked him for Rs 50 crore for a Rajya Sabha seat and also to arrange for 30 people to provide Rs 500 crore for AAP's expansion in South India.

AAP has alleged that the BJP is using Chandrashekhar against the party as it is scared of the prospect of its defeat in the Gujarat Assembly elections and the MCD polls in Delhi.
