While Singh was in jail, his wife Anita was taking care of everything. Talking about how his family dealt with his absence, he said he spent the time bravely and even asked his family to stay strong.”It is a tough situation for any family if they battle such circumstances. But the question is how can we stand strongly? I was so cautious. I knew that the video conferencing that takes place between inmates and their families is recorded,” he said.He said he would try to regale his family with interesting anecdotes from the jail or some funny incident.”I would tell them stories that make them laugh. The first day they asked me how are you, how is your health. I told them to always ask me ‘jail waale kaise hain’. Nobody was allowed to cry. I told them this is being recorded. The people sitting at the top would be happy seeing them in tears or seeing Sanjay Singh dejected,” he said.”I was resolute and brave throughout my jail days,” he said.For a major part of his stay, he was housed in cell number 28 in jail number two but was later transferred to jail number five.”This is weird. I was transferred from jail number two to jail number five. Manish Sisodia is in a separate jail and Satyendar Jain is in a separate jail. I don’t know why they consider us such big accused that we were all kept in separate jails. I was under CCTV surveillance 24×7,” he said.Singh was admitted to ILBS Hospital when he learned about the Supreme Court granting his bail.”I have been undergoing treatment at ILBS Hospital for the last three-to-four years. A report had come after which the doctor suggested liver biopsy. At that time, I was admitted to ILBS for that,” he said.Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 in the same case as Singh. Elaborating on the arrest of Kejriwal and its impact, he said it has given strength to party workers in terms of working and reaching out to people.”Today Kejriwal is not here but workers are trying to fill that gap. The people of Delhi will give a befitting reply (in elections),” he said.
