NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Rajat Gupta, one of the most prominent members of the global financial elite until he was convicted of insider trading in 2012, has revealed he was kept in solitary confinement for weeks during his incarceration in an American federal prison.

Gupta, who ran the global management consultants McKinsey for nine years and was on the board of investment bank Goldman Sachs, said he was twice placed in a "special housing unit" – a euphemism for solitary confinement - at the Devens Correctional Facility in Ayer, Massachusetts.
