Madhya Pradesh Man Booked for Public Obscenity on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway; BJP Denies Party Affiliation

Madhya Pradesh Man Booked for Public Obscenity on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway: A controversial video allegedly showing a couple engaged in a sexual act inside a car on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has gone viral, sparking public outrage. The man in the video has been identified as Manoharlal Dhakad from Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur district.

Following the incident, Dhakad was sacked from his post as national secretary of the Dhakad Mahasabha, which is registered in Ujjain. The video, reportedly filmed on May 13, shows a white car registered in Dhakad’s name, according to transport department records.

Dhakad is seen in an objectionable position after getting down from a white car with a woman. Dhakad's wife is an elected District Panchayat member from Ward No. 8 in Mandsaur’s Bani village.

Meanwhile, the Dhakad Mahasabha Youth Association has removed him from the post of National General Secretary. The BJP has also distanced itself from Dhakad. The party has said, he is not a primary member of the party and had joined through online registration.

“We have registered a case against the person identified as Manohar Lal Dhakad and one other under sections 296, 285, and 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Samhita at Bhanpura (Mandsaur) police station after the video footage surfaced online. An investigation is underway, and the partner in the act will also be identified and face legal action,” Hemlata Kuril, additional superintendent of police, Garoth, Mandsaur.

Yashpal Sisodiya, who is a BJP spokesperson, senior leader and former legislator from Mandsaur, said, “It is a highly objectionable and shameful act on the part of the person identified as Manohar Lal Dhakad and the lady. Whether he is even a primary member of the party is unclear. Anyone can join the party by giving a missed call on a designated mobile number, but it is certain that he was never an office-bearer and is not one now. However, his wife is a member of the Mandsaur district panchayat.”

Sisodiya further said, “Even if he is a member, our party will take immediate and stern action.” Meanwhile the district president of BJP Rajesh Dixit has said Dhakad is not even primary member of the party.

The video, since it emerged, has garnered significant attention, with social media users debating its implications. Concerns have arisen that any action against the leader could prompt his wife, a key BJP supporter in the district panchayat, to reconsider her political allegiance, potentially shifting the balance of power.
