Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sakshi Maharaj landed in a new controversy after a video showing a girl being made to unbutton her pant in his presence went viral.

The video shows a few women unbuttoning the girl’s jeans and removing her belt in a crowded room, in which Sakshi Maharaj is seated on a chair.

The girl’s family members were allegedly trying to show the injuries inflicted upon her by police.

Speaking to NewsX, Sakshi Maharaj said he did not ask her to remove her pant to see her injuries. The girl was like a daughter to him and no father would ask his daughter to undress, he said.

He also warned the media against giving a ‘wrong twist’ to the case and said he would file cases against them.

The police had recently conducted a raid at the house of a BJP worker Maidan Singh in Fardpur village of Mainpuri district, UP,  in connection with an alleged spurious liquor trade.

The Times of India reports that Sakshi Maharaj had visited Maidan Singh’s house in show of support and alleged that the policemen had entered his house without women constables and misbehaved with his two daughters.

Sakshi Maharaj had also allegedly made a provocative speech and threatened that, "the police would have to face bullet, if it conducts any further raid at Maidan Singh's house".

A case has been filed against Sakshi at Bicchwa police station for threatening a public official and instigating riots.
