Today, the law enforcement agency central bureau of investigation (CBI) has sought sanction from Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to file a case against former Jail Minister Satyendar Jain for allegedly extorting crores of rupees from various high profile prisoners, including alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, to enable them to live comfortably in prison.
The CBI, while seeking mandatory sanction from L-G V.K. Saxena to proceed against Satyendar Jain, has alleged that “a high level corruption and extortion racket” was being run in the jails of Delhi in connivance with then DG Prison Sandeep Goel and then Additional Inspector General of Prisons Mukesh Prasad along with associate officers, private persons and accomplices. “They worked as a syndicate for the same,” the CBI alleged in its letter to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena.
In its letter to Saxena, CBI alleged that Satyendra Jain allegedly extorted and received 10 crore rupees from jail inmate Chandrashekar in various jails of Delhi, including Tihar, Rohini and Mandoli, as an undertrial prisoner in judicial custody during 2017-18 to-21-22 either himself or through his accomplices, as protection money, to enable the alleged conman to live a peaceful and comfortable life in jail. Chandrashekhar is lodged in Tihar jail in Delhi on charges of money laundering and duping several people.
