Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that it is the first time an under trial, Manish Sisodia, has been kept in Tihar jail’s Cell No 1 with most hardened, violent criminals of the country.
Alleging ‘conspiracy’, Saurabh Bharadwaj said: “We have got to know that Manish Sisodia has been kept in Jail Number 1 in which country’s most dangerous and violent criminals are lodged, whose crimes have many times appeared on TV and newspapers”.
“Many of those are such hardened criminals and mentally unstable that they can kill anyone at the slightest signal. They already have so many cases against them, they don’t care if one more is added,” Saurabh Bharadwaj said.

He added, “Even though AAP and BJP are political competitors, is this kind of an enmity ever seen in politics?”
Saurabh Bharadwaj said that there was a request for Manish Sisodia to be kept in the vipasana cell of the jail and the same was approved by the court. Despite the court’s approval, Sisodia has been kept with criminals in Jail Number 1.
Officials had earlier said that Sisodia will be lodged inside Tihar Jail Number-1 which is meant for a single person who is a senior citizen.
The court had allowed the senior leader of the AAP to carry the Bhagavad Gita, spectacles and medicines to jail, and directed the Tihar authorities to consider his request to be allowed to do Vipassana meditation.
