BREAKING: BJP-Backed Leader Manohar Lal Dhakad’s Viral Expressway Video Sparks Outrage, Arrest, and Political Storm
A sensational controversy has erupted in Madhya Pradesh after a CCTV video surfaced showing Manohar Lal Dhakad—husband of a BJP-backed panchayat leader—in a sexually explicit act with a woman on the busy Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The footage, which quickly went viral on social media, has triggered public outrage, a police crackdown, and a political distancing by the BJP, making this one of the most talked-about news stories of the week.
What Happened?
On May 13, 2025, CCTV cameras installed along the high-security Delhi-Mumbai Expressway captured Manohar Lal Dhakad, a political figure from Mandsaur district, engaging in an obscene act with a woman outside a white car registered in his name. The act took place in full public view, raising questions about law, order, and public decency.
The explicit video began circulating rapidly across WhatsApp, Instagram, and other social media platforms by May 21, sparking widespread condemnation and heated debates about political accountability and public conduct.
Swift Police Action & Arrest
Following the viral spread, the Bhanpura police station in Mandsaur took suo motu cognizance and registered an FIR against Dhakad and the woman under sections 296 (obscene act in public), 285 (obstructing public way), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
Dhakad initially went missing but was arrested on Sunday, May 26, 2025. The investigation is ongoing, with police also probing who leaked the video and whether others were involved. The woman seen in the video has not yet been arrested, pending further inquiry.
Political Fallout: BJP Distances Itself
As the video gained traction, the BJP was quick to clarify its position. Party spokespersons and district leaders repeatedly stated that Manohar Lal Dhakad is not a primary member of the BJP, although his wife, Sohan Bai, is a BJP-backed district panchayat member from Mandsaur.
“He is not even a primary member of the BJP. Anyone can technically join the party by giving a ‘missed call’ to a designated mobile number,” said Yashpal Singh Sisodiya, BJP spokesperson.
Dhakad has also been removed from his role as National Minister of the Dhakad Mahasabha Youth Union, with the organization citing the need to protect its dignity and credibility.
Public and Official Reactions
- Law Enforcement: Ratlam Range DIG Manoj Singh condemned the act as “completely unacceptable and condemnable,” emphasizing the importance of public spaces being safe and respectful for all citizens.
- Social Media: The video has sparked massive online debate, memes, and outrage, with many questioning the moral standards of public representatives.
- Community Response: The Dhakad Mahasabha Yuva Sangh denounced Dhakad and removed him from all posts.
What’s Next?
The case has now shifted focus to:
- Tracing the source of the video leak (toll booth/CCTV staff under scrutiny).
- Determining legal action against the woman involved.
- Ongoing investigation into any additional parties involved in the incident or its dissemination.
Key Takeaways
- Viral Impact: The incident highlights how quickly digital evidence can upend political careers and spark public debate.
