New Delhi: Sukesh Chandrasekhar, an accused in a money laundering case lodged in Tihar Jail, on Monday wrote another letter to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena alleging he is receiving threats from the jail administration to withdraw his complaint against jailed AAP leader and minister Satyendar Jain, reported news agency PTI.

His family received threatening phone calls from a “close associate” of Jain on November 16 and 17 and “multiple calls” from the “verified” numbers of Jain and Manish Sisodia on November 21 and November 24, the letter claimed.

After his family did not answer the calls from the numbers belonging to the two leaders, phone calls were made to his lawyer, the letter alleged.

“The question is how Satyendar Jain is still using his mobile inside jail or who is using his number on his instruction? Why Manish Sisodia is also desperately trying to reach out to me that too brazenly from his official numbers,” the letter alleged.

In the letter written to LG VK Saxena, Chandrasekhar claimed that he is being threatened by the jail administration to withdraw his complaint against jailed Aam Aadmi Party leader and minister Satyendar Jain. He claimed that he was threatened by the jail authorities on November 15 after he recorded his first statement before a committee constituted by the LG's office to probe his previous complaints.

Earlier, imprisoned conman Chandrashekhar had accused the Superintendent of jail number 7, where Jain is imprisoned, of extending improper favours. Following this, the Jail Superintendent was suspended. "He has prima facie been found to have committed irregularities that warrant inquiry," Prison department of the Delhi Government stated, as reported by news agency ANI.

The ED had arrested Jain in a money laundering case based on a CBI FIR lodged against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.  Jain is accused of having laundered money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
