The conference room of Delhi's Tihar jail has been declared a "special jail" which will be offered to Sahara group chairman Subrata Roy to hold negotiations for sale of his luxury hotels in New York and London.

The Supreme Court in its decision today allowed Roy to stay in and use the conference room of the jail for 10 days to negotiate the sale of his luxury hotels to raise Rs 10,000 crore so the money can be deposited as ordered by the court to secure his bail.

Sources in Tihar told PTI all the arrangements will be made for Roy at the conference room within the Tihar complex. Besides other facilities, the conference room has a toilet attached to it.
