Explosion on Film Set Near O2 Arena

News summary

A shocking explosion near the O2 Arena in Silvertown, Newham, was orchestrated by convicted sex offender Jacky Jhaj, who was filmed naked as part of the stunt for a project called 'Project Dover'. The 38-year-old, previously jailed for sexual offenses against minors, ignited gun powder and detonation cords, causing significant chaos and terrifying local residents. Initial filming was set for August 24, but crew members withdrew when they recognized him after he removed a prosthetic mask. Jhaj reportedly attempted to entice crew with cash incentives, offering £5,000 instead of the usual £750 for their participation. Sources suggest this act was a deliberate affront to the BBC, police, and media who previously exposed his identity. The BBC clarified that it had no involvement in the incident, which saw destruction of police and media vehicles.
