Mandsaur BJP leader's video going viral in which he is seen in an objectionable position with a woman on the Delhi Mumbai Expressway.

A shocking video allegedly involving Manohar Lal Dhakad, a figure associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, has gone viral, igniting widespread controversy and public debate. 

The footage, captured by CCTV cameras on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on May 13, 2025, purportedly shows Dhakad in a compromising and obscene act with a woman in a public space, leading to legal action and political repercussions. 

The Incident and Viral Video.

The video, recorded on the high-security 8-lane Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, allegedly depicts Manohar Lal Dhakad engaging in an obscene act with a woman outside a white Baleno car (registered under Dhakad’s name, MP14CC4782). The footage, described as highly objectionable, surfaced on social media on May 21, 2025, and quickly spread, drawing sharp criticism from netizens and political opponents alike.

BJP’s Response and Denial of Affiliation.

The BJP has distanced itself from Dhakad, with party leaders clarifying that he is not an official member or office-bearer. Mandsaur BJP District President Rajesh Dixit stated that Dhakad is not even a primary member of the party, emphasizing that membership requires more than a missed call to a designated number, a common method for joining the BJP. 

Yashpal Sisodiya, a senior BJP leader and former legislator from Mandsaur, described the act as “highly objectionable and shameful” and assured that the party would take stern action if Dhakad were found to be a member.

However, the controversy is complicated by Dhakad’s wife, Sohan Bai, who is a BJP-backed member of the Mandsaur District Panchayat, representing Ward No. 8. Her position adds a layer of political sensitivity, as the district panchayat is closely contested, with nine BJP-backed members and eight Congress-supported representatives in the 17-member body. 

Any disciplinary action against Dhakad could risk alienating his wife, potentially shifting the balance of power in the panchayat. This concern has led the BJP to tread cautiously, with sources indicating the party is weighing its options to mitigate political fallout.

Political Reactions and Public Outcry

The Congress party seized the opportunity to criticize the BJP, accusing it of sheltering individuals involved in such acts. Congress leaders, including PCC Chief Jitu Patwari, demanded an impartial investigation, alleging that the woman in the video, reportedly a government teacher, may have been coerced or lured into the situation. Patwari took to X, stating, “The BJP is not taking action because it fears losing its majority in the Mandsaur District Panchayat. They are willing to tolerate such misdeeds for the sake of power.” This narrative has fueled accusations of political opportunism, with Congress portraying the incident as evidence of moral lapses within the BJP.

On social media, the video has sparked heated discussions, with users debating the implications of such behavior from a political figure. Many have expressed outrage over the public nature of the act, while others have questioned the BJP’s handling of the situation, given Dhakad’s tenuous connection to the party. The Dhakad Mahasabha Youth Association, where Dhakad served as National General Secretary, promptly removed him from his post, signaling the broader community’s disapproval.

Legal and Social Implications.

The police investigation is ongoing, with authorities attempting to locate Dhakad, whose mobile phone has been unreachable since the video surfaced. The case has raised broader questions about privacy, public conduct, and the role of surveillance in exposing such incidents. The high-security cameras on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, intended to ensure safety, inadvertently captured the act, highlighting the double-edged nature of widespread CCTV coverage.

The Congress’s claim that the woman may be a government teacher has added another dimension to the controversy, raising concerns about potential coercion or abuse of power. If verified, this could lead to further scrutiny of Dhakad’s actions and their implications for his family and political associates.

Conclusion!

The viral video of Manohar Lal Dhakad has thrust Mandsaur into the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons. While the BJP has sought to distance itself from Dhakad, the incident has sparked a broader conversation about accountability, public conduct, and the intersection of personal actions with political consequences. As the police investigation unfolds and the BJP deliberates its next steps, the controversy underscores the power of social media and surveillance in shaping public discourse.
