'Physiotherapy, Not Massage': Arvind Kejriwal On AAP Leader's Jail Video

Arvind Kejriwal said Satyendra Jain was not receving massage in Tihar jail.

New Delhi:

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday refuted the BJP's claims of VIP treatment given to jailed minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain, saying the viral video from inside Tihar jail is of Mr Jain receiving 'physiotherapy' and not 'massage' as alleged by the saffron party.

Speaking to reporters in Vadodra on Monday, the AAP national convenor said, "They are calling it a massage and VIP treatment, but it's merely physiotherapy."

He further alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah was the one who received VIP treatment in Gujarat.

"When Amit Shah was minister here in Gujarat, he received VIP treatment here, no such thing has happened for Jain," he said.

Earlier on Saturday, a CCTV video of Mr Jain purportedly receiving a full-body massage in Tihar Jail went viral on social media -- two days after demands to shift the minister from the prison were raised by the BJP.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia backed the minister, saying that Mr Jain was undergoing physiotherapy. He had also accused the BJP of leaking the CCTV footage saying Mr Jain was receiving a 'physiotherapy' because of a spinal injury.

The purported CCTV footage dated September 13 shows the minister lying on his bed while a man seated next to him is seen massaging his foot.

In another video shared by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on his official Twitter handle, a man is seen massaging the Delhi minister's legs and back before proceeding to give him a full head massage.

The videos surfaced on social media on Saturday, 10 days after the ED accused the Delhi minister, was was arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar jail.

Mr Jain has been in jail since June. A Delhi court denied his bail application on November 16.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
