New Delhi, January 5

Top officials of Tihar Jail have accused jailed Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain of “threat and intimidation” and lodged a complaint against him with the Director-General (Prisons), sources said on Thursday.

The AAP government termed the allegations against Jain “totally false and concocted” and alleged that the BJP was behind the move.

“There was a court hearing today on Jain’s bail application. The BJP has got this false letter written by the officials to influence the hearing,” it claimed.

Jain has been lodged in Tihar Jail since his arrest by the ED in connection with a money laundering case in May. Sources said the jail officials complained to the Director-General (Prisons) that Jain had been “abusing them and threatening them with dire consequences once he gets out of the prison”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
