Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann will be meeting Delhi Chief Minister and jailed AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on April 15.

The development in the meeting schedule comes after Tihar jail officials this morning held a meeting with Delhi and Punjab police, laying out the security strategy for Kejriwal and Mann's meeting.

The previous meeting was scrapped by the Tihar officials citing security as a concern.

The meeting is being held to make security arrangements and complete codal formalities, as mandated in Delhi Prison Rules, to arrange a meeting between Mann and Kejriwal.

The Punjab chief minister had sought time from the Tihar administration to meet the Delhi chief minister who is lodged in Tihar's jail number 2 in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy and will be in judicial custody till April 15.
