New Delhi, Nov 2: Posters of “Kejriwal massage centre” appeared outside the jail premises in which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal can be seen giving a massage to an unidentified person. This came after the Enforcement Directorate disclosed that Delhi minister Satyendar Jain, lodged in Tihar jail in connection with a money laundering case, was getting massages inside the prison and meeting the co-accused in the case.
Notably, the poster was put up after conman Sukesh wrote to Delhi Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena alleging that Delhi minister Jain 'extorted' Rs 10 crore from him in 2019 to ensure his safety in Tihar Jail. Chandrasekhar, reportedly aged in his 30s, is a conman and a native of Bengaluru. According to police officials, he wanted to lead a luxurious life and started duping people. He has been highly involved in case of controversy revolving around actor Jacqueline Fernandez
Delhi BJP leaders, including Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, Kapil Mishra, and Amit Malviya have tweeted a poster erupting a series controveries between both the parties. It is yet to be ascertained as to who put up the poster.
Lashing out at Arvind Kejriwal, Malviya said that the Delhi Chief Minister continues to defend and indulge Jain so that he doesn’t spill the beans. "Kejriwal Massage Center” posters outside Tihar Jail after ED disclosed that his extortionist minister Satyender Jain was getting masseurs in the jail… Despite court strictures, Kejriwal continues to defend Satyendra Jain and indulge him so that he doesn’t spill the beans," Malviya tweeted.
The ED had submitted CCTV footage in a Delhi court, alleging that the Jain was living a luxurious life inside Tihar jail, with facilities like head massage, foot massage, and back massage being provided to him. The ED also claimed that Jain, taking advantage of being the prison minister, was flouting prison norms.
Besides, it is pertinent to mention that the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar's sensational letter has triggered a massive war of words between AAP and the BJP. Chandrashekhar claimed that he paid an amount of Rs 10 crore to Jain as "protection money'', and that he knew Jain since 2015. The conman claimed that he had contributed over Rs 50 crore to the party as he was promised an important position within the party in South India.
"I have been lodged in jail since 2017 and I have known, Mr. Satyendar Jain of AAP since 2015, and have contributed more than 50 crore to AAP on the promise of giving me an important post in the party in South Zone, and also helping me to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha following the expansion," a hand-written letter of Chandrashekhar, which was posted through his lawyer Ashok Singh, read.
"After my arrest in 2017 for the two-leaf Symbol Corruption case, I was lodged in Tihar Jail and was visited by Satyendra Jain, who holds the portfolio of jail minister, multiple times, asking me if I had disclosed anything related to my contribution to AAP to the investigating agency which arrested me," it read.
"Thereafter, in 2019 again I was visited by Satyendra Jain and his secretary and his close friend Sushil in jail, asking me to pay Rs 2 crore every month to him as ''protection money'' to live safely in the jail, and to get even basic facilities provided," it further read.

"Also, he asked me to pay Rs 1.50 crore to DG Prison Sandeep Goel, who he said was a loyal associate of his. He forced me to pay, and a total amount of Rs 10 crore in a matter of 2 to 3 months was extorted from me through constant pressure. All the amounts were collected in Kolkata through his associate Chaturvedi. Hence a total amount of Rs 10 crore was paid to Mr. Satyendra Jain, and Rs 12.50 crore to DG Prison Sandeep Goel," it read
"During a recent investigation by ED, I had disclosed about DG Prison and also the racket run by the DG and jail administration, and also filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court seeking CBI inquiry, where the court issued notice and the matter is scheduled for a hearing next month," Chandrashekhar`s letter read.
"Also last month during an investigation by CB1/ACB Div-5, I had disclosed all the details of amounts paid to Mr. Satyendra Jain and AAP and DG Prison. But no action has been initiated," it further read. "As now Satyendra Jain is lodged in Jail-7, Tihar, he has been threatening me through DG Prison and jail administration, asking me to withdraw a complaint filed in the high court, I have been severely harassed and threatened," it read.

"Sir, I humbly request you to direct the investigation agency to file a case on my complaint which has been also given to the CBI. I am ready to give all evidence supporting my complaint against Mr. Satyendra Jain of AAP," Chandrashekhar`s letter read.
"I am being harassed, the AAP and their so-called honest government have to be exposed and shown that even in jail they are involved in high-level corruption. I hereby undertake to tender full cooperation with complete honesty before any forum," Chandrashekhar`s letter added.
Earlier, after he made repeated requests for a transfer outside Delhi, Sukesh was shifted from Tihar jail to Mandoli jail in Delhi in August after he allegedly received death threats within Tihar. In October, the Supreme Court declined to entertain another plea by alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar seeking transfer from Delhi`s Mandoli jail to any other jail outside the capital.
