Tihar refutes AAP’s remarks, says Sisodia lodged in separate cell 

Refuting allegations made by Aam Aadmi Party that Manish Sisodia has been lodged with dreaded criminals and murderers, Tihar jail officials on Wednesday said that the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister has been assigned a separate ward for his security where the inmates are not gangsters and have maintained “good conduct”. The officials denied the “aspersions” on Sisodia’s lodgings as “unfounded”.  AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj earlier today claimed that Sisodia was lodged in Jail No.1 of Tihar, which he alleged is home to some of the most dreaded criminals and murderers.  Bharadwaj alleged that the BJP was conspiring to kill his party leaders. Responding to the allegations, the prison officials said, “Manish Sisodia has been assigned a segregated ward keeping his security in mind. The ward of CJ-1, where he is lodged has a minimum number of inmates who are not gangsters and are maintaining good conduct inside the jail.” They further said that the allocation of a separate cell to the AAP leader makes it possible for him to meditate or do other activities without any disturbance.
