Day After Getting Ticket, UP MP's "Forged" Obscene Video Goes Viral, Case Filed

BJP MP Upendra Singh Rawat said that as soon as "I got the party's ticket from Barabanki, my opponents did this act", claiming that the video is completely doctored.

A day after the BJP fielded its Barabanki MP Upendra Singh Rawat from the same seat, a "forged" obscene video of him surfaced on social media on Sunday, police said.

On the basis of a complaint by MP's personal secretary Dinesh Chandra Rawat, an FIR has been lodged against an unknown accused, Kotwali police station in-charge Aditya Tripathi said.

It was alleged in the FIR that some people have made public a doctored objectionable video of the MP to tarnish his image after he was declared a BJP candidate.
