Sex offender Jacky Jhaj was filmed naked as a blast was triggered using gun powder and a detonation cord, only for it to spiral out of control and send the roof of a police van 50ft in the air in Silvertown in Newham, east London , last Saturday. Jhaj was previously jailed for four years in 2016 for having sexual activity with two 15-year-old girls, after supplying his victims with alcohol and took them to parties in Hounslow, west London, in his silver Range Rover. It has now emerged how the serial prankster, 38, features in a two-hour online film uploaded in 2020 with the title 'Dangerous Sexual Predator' - appearing to refer to a description the police made of him when convicted four years earlier.. The footage features an often bare-chested Jhaj driving around in a 4x4 vehicle filmed on a dashboard camera, with a regular flurry of young - often female - passengers joining him.

Sex offender Jacky Jhaj was filmed as a blast was triggered by using gun powder and a detonation cord, only for it to spiral out of control and send the roof of a police van 50ft in the air at an open-air yard in Silvertown in Newham, east London. Jhaj, who was jailed for four years in 2016 for having sexual activity with two 15-year-old girls, was filming a scene entirely naked for a production dubbed 'Project Dover', according to sources. The 38-year-old was sitting at a typewriter surrounded by hundreds of newspapers on the floor before he flicked cigarettes at a police car, a police van and a BBC World News-branded lorry which all exploded into a huge blaze that terrified locals. The Metropolitan Police said today it would not be investigating the incident further but would carry out an internal review to improve how it shares public information about such incidents, after complaints from neighbours over not being warned.

The 38-year-old was sat at a typewriter surrounded by hundreds of newspapers on the floor before he flicked cigarettes at a police car, a police van and a BBC World News branded lorry which all exploded into a huge blaze. The filming was first due to take place on August 24 with Jhaj wearing a 'grotesque evil villain mask'. But the special effects and film crew pulled out when Jhaj removed his prosthetic mask and one of the cast recognised who he was. He had been using the name Toby until that point. Jhaj is said to have offered cash incentives for people to continue, including engineers who he offered £5,000 instead of their usual £750 fee.

Huge flames erupted just across the River Thames from the iconic London venue last night, with residents likening the explosion to a 'bomb going off' and an ' earthquake '. The London Fire Brigade said it was called to an open-air yard in Silvertown, Newham, to bring the blaze under control after the 'pre-planned' stunt went wrong and 'spread out of control'. Footage showed thick black smoke circling above the 02 - with onlookers saying there were at least five explosions heard. A burning red lorry with the words ' BBC World News' was seen on fire, but the BBC said it had no involvement in the event. The blaze has sparked mass confusion as the Royal Borough of Greenwich Council had warned residents that there would be a 'loud explosion' during filming on August 24.

Videos from the scene show flames and huge black clouds swirling above the London venue. London Fire Brigade responded to a fire involving half of a car and a lorry, after they were called at 7.51pm. Images from the scene appear to show a burnt out BBC World News lorry and a police van. Four fire engines and 25 firefighters rushed to tackle the blaze at an open air yard on Dock Road in Silvertown - and could not confirm whether or not it was a film crew. They have since confirmed that it is under control - with no reports of any injuries.
