In the letter written on May 11 and accessed by IANS, the former minister said: “I feel depressed and low because of loneliness.
Former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, who is currently being held in Tihar jail after his arrest last year in a PMLA case, reportedly wrote a letter to the prison authorities requesting two or three inmates in his cell as company, since he felt lonely.
In the letter written on May 11 and accessed by IANS, the former minister said: “I feel depressed and low because of loneliness. The psychiatrist has suggested more social interactions. He is asked to room me with two more inmates. I ask you to accommodate Vijay Goel and Saachit in my cell, which is cell no. 5″.
At Jain’s request, the Superintendent of Jail No. 7 had transferred two inmates to his cell.
However, the Tihar jail administration has issued a notice to the superintendent for transferring inmates without informing them.
Accordingly, the administration returned the two inmates to their original cell in Jail No. 7.
