Jailed Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain on Wednesday filed an application in a Delhi court seeking direction to restrain all media organisations from airing, broadcasting, or publishing any CCTV clip related to him.
The plea stated that all the national media regularly run CCTV footage of Satyendar Jain. A parallel media trial is going against him, despite the present matter being examined by this court, argued senior advocate Rahul Mehra, who appeared for Jain. Special Judge Vikas Dhull on Wednesday issued notice to Tihar Jail Authority on an application moved by Satyendar Jain on the CCTV leak. The court will take up the matter tomorrow.
The court was hearing a plea moved by Satyendar Jain and sought direction to provide food as per his religious beliefs during his judicial custody.
Claiming Satyendar Jain has lost 28 kgs in judicial custody, his lawyer submitted that earlier Jain’s weight was 103 kgs and now his weight is around 75 kgs.
On this, Special Judge Vikas Dhull stated that, as per the application, applicant Satyendar Jain is observing a fast according to his wish and religious beliefs, so losing weight is natural.
Satyendar Jain’s lawyer also submitted in court that his client has a protein deficiency.
Advocate Abhijeet Shankar appeared for Tihar Jail and stated that the allegations against Tihar authorities that they have withdrawn some of Satyendar Jain’s diet and food are without any basis. “We will submit the dietician report, and the food will be given in 3 days. There is no nutrition deficiency.”
Abhijeet Shankar submitted that the jail superintendent has been transferred.
