Congress district president Bhagpat – Congress district leader Yunus Chaudhary in UP removed after objectionable videos surface

According to the party, Congress Baghpat district president Yunus Chaudhary has been removed from his post after a video allegedly showing him in an unacceptable position surfaced on social media.

Chaudhary, however, alleged that the video was edited and manipulated by his rivals as part of a political conspiracy against him.

The video allegedly shows Chaudhary behaving indecently with a woman.

Baghpat Superintendent of Police (SP) Arpit Vijayvargiya said that no official complaint has been received in connection with the incident so far.

“If a complaint is filed, appropriate action will be taken as per the law,” he said.

Speaking to PTI on Saturday evening, state Congress spokesperson Abhimanyu Tyagi said that Chaudhary has been removed from his post.

“I spoke to state president Ajay Rai who confirmed that Chaudhary has been removed from the post of Baghpat district president,” he said.

Tyagi said the video surfaced on Friday, prompting the party leadership to take immediate action.

Asked if Chaudhary would also be expelled from the party, Tyagi said a decision on the matter would be taken by the party leadership soon.

Attempts to reach Yunus Chaudhary for comment were unsuccessful as he did not return calls on his mobile phone.

However, in a statement on social media, Chaudhary alleged that the video was part of a “political conspiracy” by his rivals who had “edited and circulated” it to tarnish his reputation.
