Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is now at Tihar Jail as an untertrial prisoner no. 670, five regular visitors, including his wife and children, permission to carry some books, two security personnel outside the ward number 3 of Tihar prison’s Jail number 2 is allowed in prison.
Wearing a white shirt, Kejriwal entered the Tihar jail complex at around 4.45 pm on Monday, and his picture was clicked for the record registration. After being checked by the jail security, his baggage — inside which he was allowed to carry a few pairs of clothes — was scanned too. He was lodged in Tihar jail on May 21, 2014, when he spent two days there after he refused to pay a bail amount of Rs 10,000 in a defamation case filed against him by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari. His undertrial prisoner (UT) number was 3624, a source said, as reported by IndianExpress.
Another source said that the CM has been lodged in ward no. 3 of Tihar jail number 2, with other inmates such as gangster Chhota Rajan, Neeraj Bawana, and Naveen Bali. “He was taken for a medical checkup to the clinic, and then lodged in the 14X8 ward. Till Sunday, AAP leader Sanjay Singh and Tihar jail staff — who were arrested for allegedly helping conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and other jail staff to kill jailed gangster Ankit Gujjar — were shifted to jail no. 5; with all the adjoining cells left vacant,” said the source. Two security personnel have been deployed round the clock outside Kejriwal’s ward along with other staff to monitor his activity on CCTV cameras.
Kejriwal’s former deputy Manish Sisodia is lodged in Jail no. 1, former health minister Satyendar Jain in jail no. 7 and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh in jail no. 5. On “jail mulakats”, Kejriwal will be allowed to meet his family members twice a week, apart from “legal mulakats”.
