Times of India: Jodhpur: Sunday, June 24, 2018.
A Bengaluru
activist sought information from Jodhpur Central Jail administration about
Salman Khan under the RTI Act. Instead of providing information to the
applicant, the jail administration sought permission from Salman, asking him of
his opinion!
Justifying
the move, DIG (jails) Vikram Singh said since the information pertained to a
third party, the jail administration required to have his permission before
providing the same to the applicant. "Since the information sought by the
applicant belonged to a third party , we have sought his (Salman's)
permission", Singh said.
Bengaluru
resident T Narsimha Murthy had moved an application under the RTI Act on April
10, seeking information that who all came to meet Salman in the jail during his
judicial custody from April 5 to 7 after his conviction by the trial court in
the blackbuck poaching case.
