New Delhi, Jul 2: Suresh Kalmadi and other high-profile personalities may be in jail, but going by media reports, they seem to be 'lovin' it'.
Worried that the prisoners are turning the jail into a 'picnic spot,' as alleged by BJP, the Tihar jail authorities have asked for an inquiry into the special treatment and leniency shown to Kalmadi, the former Commonwealth Games organising chief and other high profile prisoners.
Earlier a media report had stated that inspecting trial court judge Brijesh Kumar Garg had found Kalmadi in the jail superintendent's chamber, apparently sharing a cup of tea and snacks with him.
Also, it is reported that the prisoners are allowed to move freely and interact with each other rather than being restricted to their cells.
"Following the news report we have ordered an inquiry into the issue. The report will be ready in 48 hours," DIG (prisons) R N Sharma said.
