Pawan Jaiswal had reported that a school in the district was providing only rotis with salt under the mid-day meal scheme. The government charged him with criminal conspiracy.

New Delhi:
The district magistrate of Mirzapur has a question for journalist Pawan Jaiswal who has been booked for reporting that rotis with salt were being served as the mid-day meal in a school in the district. “When you are a print journalist, you could have clicked a picture. Why did you record a video,” he said while talking to reporters.

According to DM Anurag Patel, this means that Jaiswal was part of a ‘conspiracy’. “This is not how a story is done. If he is a print journalist, he should have taken a picture and published a story. But he was recording a video and telling people to come and be a part of the video. That is why we feel that he is also part of the conspiracy,” Patel said.

Jaiswal was booked on Saturday by the district administration of Mirzapur for criminal conspiracy, obstructing a public servant in discharging their duty, false evidence and cheating. According to the FIR, a village official conspired with Jaiswal to record the video, knowing that the cook in the school was short of supplies.

He had reported that a school in the district was providing only rotis with salt under the mid-day meal scheme. Under the scheme, government-aided primary schools are to provide a nutritious meal including pulses, rice, rotis and vegetables.
