Satyendar Jain can be seen enjoying massage and meeting visitors in his cell in total violation of rules and prison laws. This VVIP culture in jail is dangerous for democracy.
The videos surfaced on social media on Saturday, around 10 days after the ED accused Delhi minister Jain, who was arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar.
A CCTV video of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jail has emerged on social media – two days after demands to shift the minister from the prison were raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Jain was arrested on May 30 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on allegations of money laundering.
The purported CCTV footage dated September 13 shows the minister lying on his bed and reading some papers while a man sitting next to him is seen massaging his foot.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has become ‘spa and massage party’, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, challenging Mr Kejriwal to explain Satyendar Jain’s conduct in jail. He accused the AAP of hypocrisy on ‘VIP culture’.
In another video, shared by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on his official Twitter handle, a man is seen massaging the Delhi minister’s legs and back before proceeding to give him a full head massage.
“So instead of Sazaa – Satyendar Jain was getting full VVIP Mazaa? Massage inside Tihar Jail? Hawalabaaz who hasn’t got bail for 5 months get a head massage! Violation of rules in a jail run by AAP Govt,” Poonawalla tweeted along with a video.
“This is how official position abused for Vasooli and massage thanks to Kejriwal,” he added.

“Unknown persons were giving massages and foot massages to Mr Jain, even beyond curfew hours. He was given special food,” the ED had said in a court.
Soon after this, the Superintendent of Delhi’s Tihar jail, Ajit Kumar, was also suspended for the alleged VIP treatment of jailed Delhi minister.
