AAP’s allegation, the administration rejected
The AAP had yesterday alleged that Sisodia was denied access to a “Vipassana cell” and kept in Tihar Jail along with other dreaded criminals. However, the jail official denied this and said that all arrangements have been made for Sisodia’s safety as per jail rules. The officer had told that Manish Sisodia has been assigned a separate ward for his security. In CJ-1’s ward, where he is kept, there are at least one inmate who is not a gangster and is well behaved in the prison.
