Chaudhary, however, has denied the allegations, labeling the video as a product of a political conspiracy orchestrated by his rivals. He asserts that the footage has been manipulated and is being used to tarnish his reputation.
Despite his claims, Chaudhary has only verbally requested the police to investigate the source of the viral video and has not submitted a formal complaint. Other Congress leaders have expressed uncertainty regarding the video's existence, stating they are unaware of the situation but indicating that an internal inquiry will be conducted.
Local law enforcement officials have confirmed that they have not yet received any complaints related to the obscene video. A spokesperson stated, “There is no information about any obscene video involving the Congress leader. If a complaint is filed, we will take necessary action following an investigation.”
