New Delhi: Jailed AAP minister Satyendar Jain on Monday withdrew from a Delhi court his plea seeking contempt proceedings against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly leaking CCTV footage of his prison cell to the media.

The counsel for Jain told Special Judge Vikas Dhull that they would move the appropriate forum for relief in the matter, after which the court allowed the withdrawal of the application.

The plea had accused the ED of leaking the CCTV footage of the politician getting massage inside the Tihar jail “despite an undertaking given in the court”.

A CCTV footage of Jain getting a massage in Tihar Jail emerged earlier this month, followed by several other video clips. During a bail hearing earlier, the ED had accused Jain of getting special treatment inside the jail.
