A video footage has surfaced that shows jailed Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain getting a head and body massage in Delhi's Tihar jail on Saturday. The video emerged days after Enforcement Directorate told the court that Jain is getting VIP treatment in jail.
The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia held a press conference just hours after the video went viral. He accused AAP and its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal of being the 'corruption king'.
Questioning Kejriwal's silence on the matter the BJP spokesperson said, "The Delhi CM has not yet removed Jain from the post of minister in his government despite being behind the bars for over five months."
Bhatia said, "AAP has made a mockery of law and order in jails." He added that the party has turned into a 'spa and massage party'.
"The 'kattar beimaan' thug is taking a massage in jail by violating laws.He's jailed for 5 months now but has still not been sacked as a minister. Video shows VVIP culture. We're asking you questions after seeing the video, Arvind Kejriwal where are you hiding?" said Bhatia.
AAP responds to BJP's accusations
Meanwhile, Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia responded to BJP's allegations, saying the saffron party has stooped to a new low by 'making fun' of Jain's illness. He said, "Only BJP can make cruel jokes by leaking CCTV footage of an injured person's treatment. His spine was damaged, it's on record"
Earlier, AAP leader Satyendar Jain had been denied bail by a Delhi court on Thursday in a money laundering case, saying he was "prima facie" involved in concealing the "proceeds of crime".
Meanwhile, a Tihar jail superintendent had been suspended for alleged involvement in providing special treatment to AAP minister Satyendar Jain who has been lodged in prison in a money laundering case, sources said.
