Tihar Jail rejects AgustaWestland accused Christian Michel's charges

Tihar Jail authorities have dismissed AgustaWestland case accused Christian Michel James' allegation that he was kept in a single cell with a dreaded "Muslim prisoner" who wanted to poison him to death. Michel told the court of special judge Sanjeev Agarwal that Sehnawaz, an accused who received 41 punishments for flouting jail rules, was kept in his single cell. Tihar officials informed the court that an inquiry was conducted based on James' allegations. "Prisoners are lodged in barracks or cells as per the security assessment and availability of space. Nothing adverse was reported by accused James during his lodgment in jail 1 or in jail 4, where he is presently lodged," Tihar officials told the court. The judge then directed the jail authorities to share the report's copy with James' lawyer and posted the hearing for May 22.
