Tihar Jail has called a psychiatrist for former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain. Jain had complained to the jail administration about loneliness and depression. After this, a show cause notice was sent to the Superintendent of Tihar Jail for shifting some prisoners to their cells. On Monday (May 15, 2023), the jail administration said that the help of a physiologist would be taken for Satyendar Jain and he would be treated.
Jail authorities said that Satyendar Jain spoke to a physiologist in the jail and he advised Jain that he should talk to other people. A jail official said, “If any inmate is feeling depressed, special care should be taken of him. If Satyendar Jain is a victim of depression, we will also take the help of another physiologist to ascertain his mental condition.” He said that if it is found that Satyendra Jain is suffering from depression, then we will give him the necessary treatment prescribed by the doctor.
Meanwhile, the Tihar Jail administration has issued a show cause notice to the Superintendent of Jail Number Seven for shifting two inmates to Jain’s cell.
