A BSF jawan whose video went viral showing the poor living conditions and poor quality of food, was termed as unstable and an alcoholic by the BSF officials. On Wednesday, the jawan’s wife condemned the statement issued by the BSF officials and questioned the authorities as to why her husband was given a gun if he was unstable.
Sharmila Yadav, wife of Tej Bahadur Yadav asked, “If my husband was mentally unstable or indisciplined, why was he given a rifle by the BSF to guard the Country’s border in crucial areas?”
She also said that her husband has a habit of being intolerant to justice for which he has faced many hurdles in his service tenure. It was this habit that made Tej Bahadur Yadav record the video and put it on Facebook.
The video has been watched by 90 lakh people in three days and more than 4.5 lakh viewers have shared in on social media sites in these three days. At the end of the video, Tej Bahadur Yadav said that he might be court martialed for putting up the video, but that it would make him happy if it benefited at least the other jawans. The Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered a probe into the video and its claims. But BSF IG D.K. Upadhaya said on Tuesday that the jawan has been accused of insubordination and intoxication and has been court martialed.
