Melania Trump's racy photos land Indian minister in soup

An Indian state education minister has come clean after accusations last week that he might have been watching porn on his phone at a public event. Cops say the minister was only checking out Melania Trump's photos.

Karnataka education minister, Tanveer Sait, was accused last week of staring at what many could summon as pornographic photographs at Tipu Jayanti event in Raichur on Nov. 10. It turns out, Sait was only checking out pictures of to be First Lady of the United States. Footage of Sait staring at his screen were broadcast on national TV.

The assertion comes from police officers who were able to check the footage of Sait and get to the bottom of the situation. In a statement to ToI, they said, "The photographs the minister was allegedly watching were of Melania Trump."

"Her pictures taken more than 15 years ago gained new traction in the run-up to the US presidential election and after Trump's shock victory last week. Among the many messages sent to the minister’s WhatsApp account, Melania photographs, too, popped up on the screen." The decade old photos were from the time when Donald Trump’s third wife was a top model.

Sait has lodged a complaint with the cybercrime cell against the cameraman and reporters of the TV channel. He believes that the complainants were trying to defame him.
