Life in Tihar: Tea with jail official, chatting with friends

NEW DELHI: High tea with the jail superintendent, freedom to enter, leave prison cells or meet co-accused, unrestricted access to jail premises — this is what life is like in Tihar Jail for the high-profile accused in the countrys two biggest scams —2G spectrum scam and Commonwealth Games. On a surprise visit to the jail on Thursday, inspecting trial court judge Brijesh Kumar Garg was aghast to see that high profile undertrial prisoners (UTP) were being given undue liberty by the jail authorities. While sacked Games Organizing Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi was having tea and snacks with the jail superintendent in his chamber, the judge found that the cells of 2G spectrum accused were unlocked and all the high profile UTPs were able to roam around and interact with each other. In a report to the district and sessions judge, Garg said he was surprised to see Kalmadi, who is in judicial custody in connection with the Time-Scoring-Result contract scam, was sitting with jail superintendent Bharadwaj and was enjoying tea/coffee and biscuits/namkeen. When Garg, an additional district judge, asked why Kalmadi was there, he was told that the sacked CWG organizer was waiting for the van to take him to the hospital. The jail superintendent, however, failed to explain the tea and snacks. The superintendent has been asked to submit the entire record of medical treatment given to Kalmadi, along with details of his visits to hospitals.
