Jailed Sahara chief Subrata Roy will move to a swanky conference room in Tihar prison on Tuesday where he will have facilities like video conferencing, internet and phone so that he can negotiate with potential bidders for sale of his hotels abroad to raise Rs 10,000 crore for bail.
The fully air conditioned room, usually used for confidential meetings and press briefings by jail authorities, has been named ‘Special Jail’ for 66-year-old Roy and two Sahara directors, Ashok Roy Choudhary and Ravi Shankar Dubey, who are also lodged in the same prison. The facility is being offered to Roy for 10 days following a Supreme Court order last week so that he can hold negotiations for sale of his luxury hotels in New York and London.
Sources in Tihar said all the meetings to be held by the Sahara chief will be under CCTV surveillance and adequate security will be provided to the team.
Roy and the two directors are being offered two laptops, two desktop computers and one mobile phone in the conference room which has WiFi connectivity. The room has a seating arrangement for 15-20 people and has a 52-inch TV for video-conferencing.
Charges for the services will be paid by the group. Apart from these, Roy’s steno, secretarial assistants and one technical assistant will be allowed to help him during all working days.
