Delhi minister Satyendar Jain will not be able to meet anyone in jail for 15 days

Jailed Delhi government minister Satyendar Jain will not be able to meet visitors for the next 15 days. The "facilities" like table and chair have been removed from his cell in the jail. Sources gave this information on Sunday. Satyendar Jain is awaiting trial in the money laundering case since June. The move to punish Jain has been taken after the CCTV video leaked in which Satyendar Jain was seen getting massages in his jail room and meeting visitors inside.

This step was taken on the recommendations of a committee constituted by Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. The committee has also said that it found that the then head of the jail, Sandeep Goyal, was in "collusion" with Satyendar Jain. The committee recommended departmental action against Goyal for giving "VIP treatment" to the minister.

After the video was leaked, Aam Aadmi Party leader Jain was targeted at a time when the Aam Aadmi Party's election campaign against the BJP was in full swing for the municipal elections in Delhi as well as the assembly elections in Gujarat. Regarding the massage, 'AAP' said that it is for physiotherapy and about the use of home-cooked food, for which they have been approved by the doctors and the court. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said that the purpose of leaking the video was only to harm his party in the elections.
