NEW DELHI: A political controversy has erupted following the release of a video showing a couple engaging in sexual activity outside a car on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway. The footage was captured by a surveillance camera installed on the highway and features political leader Manohar Lal Dhakad and a woman. As the incident sparked outrage, Manohar Lal was removed from his position as General Secretary of the Dhakad Mahasabha.
Police confirmed that the white car seen in the video is registered in Manohar Lal’s name. Although reports claimed that he is a BJP leader, the party has denied this, stating that he does not even hold primary membership. However, Manohar Lal's wife is a BJP-supported member of the Mandsaur District Panchayat. The car was parked in the Mandsaur town area. Police have registered an FIR and launched an investigation into the incident.
