Ajmer Jailer Helped Inmates Call 1992 Blackmail Case Mastermind
A video has appeared online that shows some men talking to a person named Nafees Chishti.
Nafees is the person who planned a big blackmailing crime back in 1992.
What makes the video surprising is that the men talking to him are in a jail.
Their jailer, whose job is to watch over prisoners, is in the video too.
He used his own personal phone to let the three men talk to Nafees.
The three men were sent to jail for hurting an important person who takes care of a famous holy place called Ajmer Sharif.
Many people are concerned because the jailer seems friendly with the prisoners and tells them not to worry.
The head of the jail says he has not seen the video yet and needs to check if it is real.
If the video turns out to be real, he says it would be a very serious and shocking matter.
A viral video allegedly shows Ajmer Central Jailer Saddam Hussain allowing three inmates to speak with Nafees Chishti, mastermind of a 1992 blackmail case, via video call.
The call was made from the jailer's personal mobile phone inside his office, with the three inmates present.
The inmates are Tariq Chishti, his son Tausif Chishti alias Chinki, and nephew Fakhar Jamali, who were sentenced to seven years in 2025 for a 2014 attack on Ajmer Sharif custodian Haji Syed Bilal Hussain Chishti.
Jail Superintendent R. Anteshwaran said he had no information about the video and would comment only after verifying its authenticity, calling the matter potentially 'very serious and shocking.'
Nafees Chishti has been named in past criminal cases, including alleged betting worth Rs 5.20 crore and a Rs 24 crore drug smuggling case.
