When contacted, Choudhary, who was transferred from Tihar's Jail No. 7 (where Jain is lodged) to Jail No. 1 on Tuesday, confirmed that he was raided and questioned by the ED, but said nothing was found.
In March 2023, the ED, probing a 2017 money laundering case against Jain, pointed to his conduct and “influence” in Tihar jail before the Delhi High Court to argue that he had received “preferential treatment”.
When the jail administration came to know about it, a show cause notice was issued to the concerned officer who then transferred the inmates back, he said.
The Tihar Jail administration has issued a show cause notice to the superintendent of jail number 7 for transferring two inmates to former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain s cell, officials said on Monday.
