BSF trooper Tej Bahadur Yadav's video went viral on social media in January.
The wife of BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav told the Delhi High Court on Wednesday that she had met her husband and was convinced that he was safe. Mr Yadav, whose social media video clip on "substandard food" triggered an uproar, got to meet his wife at the battalion Jammu and Kashmir's Samba area where he was posted, she told the court.
A division bench of Justices GS Sistani and Vinod Goel subsequently disposed Sharmila Devi's habeas corpus plea to find her "missing husband" as she had no information about his whereabouts.
Appearing for the Border Security Force, advocate Gaurang Kanth told the court that Mr Yadav purchased a new mobile phone and there was "no restriction" on him from talking to his family.
The BSF had taken away Mr Yadav's personal mobile phone that he used by him to upload the videos and said it was part of the investigations.
After the High Court's direction on February 10, the BSF allowed Mr Yadav's wife to meet him and also to stay overnight for two days.
Sharmila Devi filed a habeas corpus plea after she and other family members failed to contact the BSF jawan for three days.
At that point she said that she last spoke to him on February 7, when he told her that he was being taken to an unknown location.
The BSF had told the court that Mr Yadav was "not missing" and just transferred to another battalion and his wife's apprehension was "baseless and unfounded".
In January, Mr Yadav posted a video clip on social media complaining about the quality of food served to BSF personnel and accused unnamed officers of illegally selling food supplies meant for jawans.
The family earlier alleged that the jawan was being "threatened and tortured mentally".
After the video went viral, the Prime Minister's Office and the Home Ministry sought details on the incident from the BSF.
The jawan faces an inquiry on various charges, including indiscipline. His plea for voluntary retirement was also rejected by the authorities.
