FIR was accused of changing MP and an objectionable video was released with the aim of damaging his reputation. It was announced that the photo behind him was a BJP candidate. Police sources told the Press Trust that video posted online showed a man and woman committing a violent act.
The news agency added that the person seen in the images was said to be Upendra Singh Rawat. The MP said as soon as “I got the party’s ticket from Barabanki, my opponents did this act”, claiming that the video is completely doctored.
Upendra Singh Rawat has been nominated by the Bharatiya Janata Party as a candidate from Barabanki seat, replacing MP Priyanka Singh Rawat, who voted in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
