Threatened by AAP’s Satyendar Jain, claim Tihar jail officials

Jain has been in jail since May last year after being arrested in an alleged money laundering case by the ED. Before the MCD polls, purported videos of him getting a massage in jail and of people cleaning his cell were shared on social media.

Assistant Superintendent Jaidev and Deputy Superintendent Parveen Kumar said in an ‘incident report’ submitted on December 8 that they had gone to serve a show cause notice to Jain regarding alleged flouting of prison rules, where he allegedly threatened them on November 30. The report states that Jain allegedly told the officers: “Mujhe pata hai ki ye sab mote ne karvaya hai, jo law officer hai. Main bahar nikalne ke baad is jail se CCTV footage maangunga aur is SCJ-7 Rajesh Chaudhary ko bahar nikalne ke baad dekh lunga aur isae naukri karna sikha dunga.”

According to the incident report, Chaudhary called Jain to his chambers on November 25 in connection with the enquiry, where the latter allegedly said, “Ye saara matter political hai aur jab bhi main bahar niklunga toh saare government servants jinhone mere against kuch bhi kia hai, chahe serving ya retired, unko dekh lunga (This whole matter is political and whenever I am released, I will show the officers who did anything against me, whether they are serving or retired).”

In his complaint, Chaudhary claimed that at the time he had assumed that Jain made these statements in “frustration”, but later he allegedly “threatened other officers, he apprehends that Jain would take action against him and other jail officials once he is released from jail “.

Chaudhary has also requested in the file that Jain be transferred to a different jail facility.
