New Delhi, Nov 01: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Satyendar Jain, accused in a money laundering case, is being given “special treatment” inside Tihar Jail, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told a special Delhi court in an affidavit.
The ED has submitted CCTV footage that shows an unknown person giving a foot, and body massage to Jain inside his cell in the presence of three other unknown persons. The unknown masseuse also delivers some documents to and from the accused petitioner in a suspicious/clandestine manner.

The CCTV footage shows an unknown person sitting with him and having discussions inside his cell. The ED also submitted that cell of Jain is being cleaned, mopped, and swept by an unknown person under the supervision of co-accused Ankush Jain. The bedsheet and pillow cover, etc. are being changed and the cell is being arranged by an unknown person well before Jain enters the cell. Furthermore, it states that Jain is meeting co-accused Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain along with some others for discussions on unknown papers in the cell. In April, the ED had attached assets worth Rs. 4.81 crores linked to Jain and his family.
