DELHI: A Delhi court on Wednesday issued notice to Tihar Jail Authority on an application moved by jailed AAP minister Satyendar Jain on issue of CCTV leak. The court will take up the matter on Thursday.
The jailed minister had sought contempt proceedings against the Enforcement Directorate for allegedly leaking CCTV footage of his prison cell to media. The matter, which was scheduled to come up for a hearing on Monday, was adjourned for Tuesday since the judge was on leave.
He has also sought to restrain media houses from running and broadcasting the CCTV footage of him in Tihar jail.
The AAP on Saturday drew flak as videos purportedly showing Jain receiving massage and meeting visitors in his prison cell emerged, with the opposition BJP and Congress demanding his sacking and a probe by agencies into violation of jail rules.
The ED had, during a bail hearing earlier, accused Jain of getting special treatment inside the jail. The court had ordered the ED and Jain's legal team not to leak any content of affidavits and video in this regard and had taken their undertakings in the matter.
