A conference room being readied in Tihar Jail
From the 5th of August till the following 10 days the Delhi’s Tihar jail will have the sort of visitors who generally find them working in very different circumstances. All these visitors will be coming to see Sahara chief Subrata Roy who has been trying to raise the Rs 10,000 crore that would allow him to go out of the jail by selling or mortgaging some of the real estate assets he owns.
What is interesting is how is Tihar preparing for this unusual event? A large 30×18 ft conference room along with an attached bathroom and a 12×12 ft annexe inside the Tihar court complex is being made for Subrata Roy and two Sahara directors, Ashok Roy Choudhary and Ravi Shankar Dubey, who are also lodged in the same prison.
The Jail authorities have sent a letter to Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung in order to notify about the conference room as a special jail but with certain relaxations like phones and laptops, WiFi connectivity. The jail authorities would also be allowing visitors from 6 am to 8 pm on all days except for Sundays and other days that are gazetted holidays.
