A show cause notice has been issued by the Tihar Jail Administration to the superintendent of Jail no.7 for shifting two men to the cell of former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party's jailed leader Satyendar Jain on the latter's request, as reported by the news agency ANI. This comes after Jain had written an application from inside the Tihar Jail, requesting the prison administration to lodge him with two more inmates in the cell, as reported by ANI. Citing the depression and loneliness, he is suffering from, the Jain on May 11, requested the superintendent of Tihar jail no. 7 to lodge two more persons with him, an official of Tihar Jail said.

"Jain in his application said he is feeling depressed and low because of loneliness.

The official added that immediately his request was accepted and two persons were moved to his cell. Along with the show-cause notice the jail administration sent the AAP leader's fellow inmates back to their cell. According to the jail administration, the superintendent took this decision without informing the administration, whereas, as per the procedure, no inmate can be moved and transferred to another cell without informing the administration and taking permission, as reported by ANI.

Jain has been lodged inside Tihar Jail since June, last year. Earlier in November, last year, a CCTV footage went viral and the AAP leader was seen having a full-body massage from inside the prison.
