Watch: Day after claiming he was starving in jail, Satyendar Jain gorging on 'proper' food in Tihar

New Delhi: Days after a video of jailed Delhi minister Satyendra Jain getting a massage in Tihar jail went viral, another CCTV footage of the minister seemingly gorging on home-cooked food has emerged.

According to Tihar sources, Jain has gained 8 kg in jail, contrary to his lawyer’s claims of him having lost 28 kg.

In a video shared on Twitter by news agency ANI, Jain can be seen having a proper meal being served by an attendant.

After the video went viral, a few social media users pointed out that Jain can be clearly seen eating food ordered from restaurants.

The video emerged a day after Jain filed a plea in court stating that he is starving in jail and is not getting food of his choice in prison.

Jain had moved a plea before a Delhi court on Monday, seeking a direction to Tihar officials to provide him food items as per his religious beliefs, his lawyer said.

He also mentioned that he is not getting proper food, medical check-up, and have lost 28 kg.

The application alleged that from the day of Jain’s arrest on 31 May, he has not been able to visit a Jain temple, and “being a strict Jain religious observer, he has been on a religious fast and is not having cooked food, pulses, grains and milk products”.

It claimed that he was “a strict adherent of Jainism”.

On Tuesday, Tihar Jail official sources said that the person seen giving massage to Jain in a viral video was a rape accused and not a physiotherapist as claimed by Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party.

The sources said masseur Rinku is a prisoner in a rape case and has been charged under Section 6 of POCSO Act and Section 376, 506 and 509 of the IPC.

The CCTV footage, capturing the minister lying on his bed and reading something from a piece of white paper while a man sitting next to him giving him a foot massage, had gone viral, embarrassing the Aam Aadmi Party who claimed that Jain was undergoing treatment and the masseur was a physiotherapist.

China challenge hangs like a dark cloud but India will increasingly strive to be a rule shaper, not rule taker

On Tuesday, while dedicating to the nation 24 new bridges and three new roads built by the Border Roads Organization in areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh said “in today’s uncertain environment, the possibility of any kind of conflict cannot be ruled out.”  His reference to China wasn’t to be missed. These infrastructural developments are mostly girding India’s border regions with Beijing. One of these roads, the Chisumle-Demchok Road in eastern Ladakh, the world’s highest motorable road, is built at an altitude of more than 19,000 feet. The Chinese have built so-called “civilian settlements” in the disputed region over which India also claims sovereign control, and Demchok has seen frequent clashes between troops in the past. In this regard, Singh’s pointed remarks are worth noting: “Infrastructure development in border areas also strengthens our strategic capabilities. As we mo...
