Sanjay Raut says his book on prison experiences has chapter on ex-VP Dhankhar
Mumbai (PTI): The English translation of his book about experiences in prison has a chapter on the sudden resignation of former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said on Saturday.
Dhankhar, a former BJP leader, resigned as vice president citing health reasons in July 2025, taking the country by surprise.
Raut was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in 2022 in an alleged money laundering case. After his release on bail, he wrote a book in Marathi on his experiences in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail, titled "Narkatla Swarg" (Heaven in Hell), which was published last year.
"The revised (English) edition has a chapter on Dhankhar. There are five-six more examples (of those arrested by central agencies)," Raut told PTI without providing more details.
The English version "Unlikely Paradise" will be released in New Delhi on March 23.
The book will be released by Rajya Sabha MPs Kapil Sibal, Sanjay Singh, Derek O'Brien and Jaya Bachchan. Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will launch the book.

At least 64 people killed in strike on hospital in Sudan: World Health Organization
Cairo: At least 64 people, including at least 13 children, were killed in a strike on a hospital in the western Darfur region of Sudan on Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday.
News agencies have reported that the strike on Al Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur on Friday not only injured at least 89 people but also rendered the hospital non-functional, Tedros Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO, said in a post on X.
Sudan has been in a state of chaos since April 2023, when a power struggle between the military and the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) developed into war across the country.
The RSF has blamed the military for the strike on the hospital.
The army, however, has denied the attack, but two military officials have said that the strike targeted a nearby police station. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not allowed to discuss the matter openly.
The war has killed more than 40,000 people, according to UN figures, but aid groups say that is an undercount and the true number could be many times higher.
The WHO has said that over 2,000 people have been killed in attacks on medical facilities since the start of the war.
“Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted. The time has come to de-escalate the conflict in Sudan,” said Ghebreyesus.
.@WHO has verified yet another attack on health care in #Sudan. This time, Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, Al Deain, was struck, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor, and multiple patients.
