Court allows wife to meet BSF soldier Tej Bahadur who was 'untraceable' after releasing video on social media complaining of poor quality of food

The Delhi high court on Friday asked the Centre to allow the wife of the BSF jawan, who went public through the social media alleging poor quality food being served to soldiers, to meet and stay with him for two days at the base where he is posted at present.
The direction by a division bench of Justices G S Sistani and Vinod Goel came after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain informed the court that BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav is not under any illegal confinement and he has been shifted to another battalion, 88th Bn HQRS at Kalibari, Samba in Jammu.
Taking note of the submission, the high court bench said if the wife has an apprehension that her husband is under threat, she and their son should be allowed to meet the soldier.

It also said: 'We should not get into logistics of any kind, the wife must be allowed to meet him and let us burst the bubble.'
The bench further directed the ASG, who was representing the Centre and BSF, to make all possible arrangements for the wife to meet her husband at the Jammu camp and there should be no difficulties while she visits the place.
