Chaudhary’s Response
Despite the backlash, Chaudhary denied his involvement in the video, claiming it was manipulated and edited by political adversaries to tarnish his reputation. He asserted that the footage was part of a larger conspiracy against him.
Police Statement
Baghpat Superintendent of Police (SP) Arpit Vijayvargiya noted that no formal complaint has been filed regarding the incident. He stated, “If a complaint is submitted, appropriate legal action will be taken in accordance with the law.”
Party Reaction
Following the release of the video, Congress State Spokesperson Abhimanyu Tyagi confirmed Chaudhary’s removal from the district president role. “I spoke to State President Ajay Rai, who confirmed that Yunus Chaudhary has been removed from his post,” Tyagi stated. He mentioned that the party leadership acted swiftly upon the video’s emergence. When asked about the possibility of further disciplinary action against Chaudhary, Tyagi indicated that the leadership would deliberate on the matter soon.
