BSF ‘whistleblower’ Tej Bahadur Yadav cries conspiracy

NEW DELHI: BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav, who kicked up a controversy for his video on bad food being served to soldiers at a border post, is back in the news with another recording in which he alleges that the accounts of Pakistani “friends” on his Facebook page are a conspiracy against him. Yadav’s new video has appeared on social media where he is also heard posing questions to PM Narendra Modi whether he is being punished for exposing corruption. The allegation of his Facebook account being manipulated seem to be a response to reports, quoting official sources, that a probe had found about 17% of Yadav’s Facebook contacts to be from Pakistan.

While an BSF probe is still on against Yadav, home ministry officials hinted that there could be strict action against the constable for levelling what they said are false allegations repeatedly.
