New Delhi: Tihar authorities have ordered an inquiry against jailed Indian National Lok Dal leader Ajay Chautala for allegedly addressing a public rally in Haryana through a telephone call made from the prison, an official said on Monday.
"All the inmates are allowed to talk to their family every day for five minutes through phone. Ajay Chautala telephoned his son on February 19-20 who called his supporters. Chautala then addressed them through speaker phone," Director General of Prisons Vimla Mehra told IANS.
"An inquiry was set up on Saturday. We are looking at every angle. The report might be submitted by today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday)," said Mr Mehra.
Another jail official said Mr Chautala addressed a rally in Sonipat district on February 20 for five minutes when his son Dushyant patched him up through the speaker phone.
The father and son are in jail after being indicted by a Delhi court for their involvement in irregular appointment of teachers in 2000.
