New video emerges after Jain’s claim about jail food
NEW DELHI: Fresh videos of AAP’s Satyendar Jain emerged from Tihar jail on Wednesday in which he is seen eating uncooked vegetables and fruits in his cell, days after the minister moved court alleging that he is not being provided raw food as per his religious beliefs.
However, the purported videos are dated September 13 and October 1. A Delhi court on Tuesday sought the Enforcement Directorate’s response to a plea by Jain seeking a direction to jail officials to provide him food items like fruits, dry fruits and dates as per his religious beliefs as he was observing a fast.
The petition claimed the jail administration had stopped providing him basic food that is partaken under his religion for the last 12 days.
There was no immediate reaction to the fresh videos by the AAP. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) on Wednesday reiterated its demand to sack the Delhi minister after the new footage emerged.
