The Delhi prisons department today trashed the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) allegation of a plot to murder its senior leader Manish Sisodia in Tihar jail.
Mr Sisodia, AAP's Number 2 and Delhi's former Deputy Chief Minister, is in judicial custody after he was arrested last month in the liquor policy case. His bail petition will be taken up on Friday.
The prisons department said in a statement that Mr Sisodia "has been assigned to a segregated ward keeping his security in mind". "The ward of CJ-1, where he is lodged has minimum number of inmates who are not gangsters and are maintaining good conduct inside the jail," the prisons department said, responding to AAP's allegation that Mr Sisodia has been lodged with dangerous and violent prisoners.
"A separate cell makes it possible for him to meditate or do such other activities without any disturbance. All the arrangements, as per Jail Rules, are in place to ensure his safety and security. Any aspersions cast about his lodgings is unfounded," the department added.
