Satyendar Jain moves to court seeking contempt action against ED after his leaked massage video

Satyender Jain

New Delhi: Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain’s legal team on Saturday moved to a Special court with an application seeking contempt action against Enforcement Directorate.
Jain’s legal team alleged that ED has leaked the CCTV video despite the undertaking given in the court. Special Judge Vikas Dhull issued a notice to the ED and fixed the matter for November 21, 2022, for hearing.
“Special court issues contempt of court notice to ED on Satyendar Jain’s application for leaking Tihar CCTV footage to BJP & others. The court will hear on Monday how did BJP get the confidential footage and why it was circulated ?” Satyendar Jain’s lawyer Mohd Irshad tweeted.
A CCTV video of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jail emerged on social media on Saturday morning – two days after demands to shift the minister from the prison were raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The purported CCTV footage dated September 13 shows the minister lying on his bed and reading some papers while a man sitting next to him is seen massaging his foot.

In another video, shared by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on his official Twitter handle, a man is massaging the Delhi minister’s legs and back before proceeding to give him a full head massage. The videos surfaced on social media on Saturday, around 10 days after the ED accused Delhi minister Jain, who was arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar jail.
“Unknown persons gave massages and foot massages to Jain, even beyond curfew hours. He was given special food,” the ED had said in the court. Soon after this, the Superintendent of Delhi’s Tihar jail, Ajit Kumar, was also suspended for the alleged VIP treatment of jailed Delhi minister.
The minister, Jain, was arrested and has been in jail since June in connection with a money laundering case, and a Delhi court also denied his bail application on Thursday.

Maharashtra Governor Calls Shivaji ‘Old Idol’, Draws Uddhav Sena Fury

Maharashtra Governor

Maharashtra: Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari stoked a fresh controversy on Saturday, calling Chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj an ‘old idol’.
Addressing a function at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University in Aurangabad on Saturday, the Maharashtra governor said, “If someone asks who your idol is, you don’t have to go out looking for one. You will find them right here in Maharashtra. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has become an old idol now, you can find new ones — from Babasaheb Ambedkar to (Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways) Nitin Gadkari.” An emotive and iconic figure in Maharashtra, transcending political affiliations, the governor’s remark on the Maratha warrior did not go down well with leaders.

A spokesperson for the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena condemned the governor’s statement saying he is known to disrespect great leaders.
“Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not only our deity but our source of inspiration. He will always be the idol for all of us,” Anand Dubey, a spokesman for the Uddhav Sena said in a statement.
“Going by the governor’s statements, even Lord Ram and Lord Krishna have become old idols. Must we find new deities now to worship?” Dubey asked, adding that the governor’s statement should be strongly condemned.
