Manohar Lal Dhakad Highway Viral Video
A viral video featuring BJP leader Manohar Lal Dhakad in a compromising situation with a woman on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has caused a major controversy.
Incident Details
On May 13, 2025, CCTV footage showed Dhakad and a woman engaged in an explicit act on the expressway near Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh. The video quickly spread on social media, leading to public outrage and police action.
Legal Actions and Arrest
After the video surfaced, the Madhya Pradesh police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Dhakad and the unidentified woman for obscene acts and obstruction in a public way. Dhakad was arrested on May 25 but was later granted bail. He denied any wrongdoing, claiming the video was fake and that the car shown in it was no longer his.
Political Fallout
The incident has had political consequences. Dhakad’s wife, Sohan Bai, is a member of the district panchayat supported by the BJP, but the party has distanced itself from him, stating he was never a key member. Additionally, the Dhakad Mahasabha removed him from his role as National Minister of the Youth Union.
Ongoing Investigations
Authorities are still looking into how the video was shared. Reports indicate that Dhakad may have been blackmailed by staff at the expressway control room, who allegedly extorted ₹20,000 from him and threatened to release the footage if he did not pay more.
This case raises important questions about privacy, public decency, and the responsibilities of public figures. Further developments are expected as the investigation continues.
