Bhopal: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader assaulted and sexually harassed a 25-year-old woman in Satna district of India\u2019s Madhya Pradesh state.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident triggered widespread outrage after a video of the assault went viral, causing stir in political circles. The victim runs a beauty parlour in the area, located near a warehouse owned by BJP leader Pulkit Tandon.<\/p>\n

In her FIR, the woman said that on Tuesday night, around 10 pm, she received a call from RK Namdev, an employee of Pulkit Tandon. She was told that a customer had come for parlour services. Initially hesitant, she later agreed and went to the warehouse.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that Namdev took her inside the warehouse and introduced her to Pulkit Tandon, who was consuming alcohol at the time. Realising there was no customer, she tried to leave. At this point, she says, Pulkit Tandon grabbed her hand, pulled her back, and attempted to stop her from leaving. His employee Namdev was also at the spot.<\/p>\n

The house of the victim was located nearby, and her mother and brother rushed outside, hearing loud noise and commotion, but Tandon attacked them as well. The victim\u2019s family further said the BJP leader threatened to kill them if they filed a police complaint.<\/p>\n

Following the viral spread of the video, police have registered a case against Pulkit Tandon and Namdev.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
