RTI query
questioning the names and details of visitors in jail has been stalled and the
reason given by the Jodhpur jail authorities is that they need to seek the
permission from the actor from disclosing the names, read on the full details
inside.
Bollywood
Salman Khan was in Jodhpur Central Jail for 1998 blackbuck poaching case and
was sentenced to five years of jail term on April 5. However, the superstar was
granted bail on April 7, after spending a couple of nights in jail. Salman's
jail term and bail created waves on the social media big time but then just
like everything, it too settled down.But once again the pages of the book have
been reopened by an activist who filed an RTI (Right To Information), insisting
to know the detail and timeline of every single person who paid the visit to
Salman Khan during his jail term. Now, what is creating waves you ask, the RTI
filed by him has been put on hold as the jail authorities want to seek the
actor's permission before disclosing the names.
According to
the reports by Mirror Now, the jail authorities in reply to the RTI sent a
letter stating that since it is information which is sought by the third party
they would need the consent of the Bollywood actor before the information could
be released.The RTI was stalled even after the 30-day deadline and even the
first appeal by the applicant was treated with the stone-cold silence.
Looking at
all of it, it is clear that the question of getting any kind of permission from
Salman Khan shouldn't have arisen here and the RTI should have been answered.
Watch the video above to get an insight into the whole situation.
