Sonia Gandhi Reveals Feeding Prisoners During Tihar Visits in Memoir

Sonia Gandhi’s memoir offers a rare glimpse into her visits to Tihar Jail while her mother‑in‑law, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was incarcerated. The book details how Gandhi had to ensure that the food supplied was sufficient not only for herself but also for the three women who took turns guarding her mother‑in‑law. Additionally, she had to provide meals for an Australian woman imprisoned in the same compound, an accomplice of the notorious serial killer Charles Sobhraj. The narrative highlights Gandhi’s personal involvement in the care of prisoners and sheds light on a lesser‑known chapter of India’s political history.
