Treatment for injury: Sisodia on Satyendar Jain's viral massage video

New Delhi, November 19: After facing criticism after videos of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jain went viral, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia refuted the allegations levelled against Jain the minister on Saturday, calling the CCTV footage "treatment for injury."

The deputy chief minister of Delhi claimed that the doctor had ordered physiotherapy for the minister due to a spinal injury.

"Only BJP can make cruel jokes by leaking CCTV footage of an injured person's treatment... His (Satyendar Jain's) spine was damaged, it's on record," said Sisodia.

On Saturday morning, a CCTV video of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain receiving a full body massage in Tihar Jail surfaced on social media, two days after the Bharatiya Janata Party demanded that the minister be shifted from prison.

According to the alleged CCTV footage from September 13, the minister is lying on his bed reading papers while a man sitting next to him massages his foot.

Another video, shared on Twitter by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, shows a man massaging the Delhi minister's legs and back before giving him a full head massage.

"So instead of Sazaa - Satyendar Jain was getting full VVIP Mazaa? Massage inside Tihar Jail? Hawalabaaz who hasn't got bail for 5 months get a head massage! Violation of rules in a jail run by AAP Govt," Poonawalla tweeted.

"This is how official position abused for Vasooli and massage thanks to Kejriwal," he added.
