Manohar Lal Dhakad Bail and Statement
After his arrest, Manohar Lal Dhakar was granted bail by the court. Once he was released, he spoke to the national media outlet and strongly denied any involvement in the incident.
Dhakad said the video was fabricated and claimed that someone was trying to trap him in a conspiracy to ruin his image.
To the media, he said, “The viral video is fake and is not real. I was not in it, and the car shown in the video is not mine. I had already sold that car.” Dhakar said he’s confident that the truth will come out after the video is properly investigated. He also mentions that he is planning to take legal action against those who shared the video to defame him.
When asked about his decision to stay underground or out of sight for 8 days after the video came out, Manohar Lal Dhakar said he was scared. He told the media that the police had taken his car, and people were already judging him, which hurt his image. Because of that fear, he chose to stay quiet for a few days before finally speaking up.
What BJP Say on This Matter?
After the video went viral all over the internet, the BJP released a statement to distance itself from Manohar Lal Dhakad. Party leaders said that Dhakar is not an official member of our party, although his wife is a district panchayat member supported by the BJP.
Even after the clarification, the video caused considerable embarrassment for the party. Also, it gave opposition leaders a chance and reason to criticize.
This viral video and the controversy around it brought negative attention to the party in Madhya Pradesh, where they already facing political pressure. A situation like this can really hurt any party’s image and affect how people see them, especially during election times.
Investigation and Blackmail Allegations
After a week of investigation, the police have shared a surprising update in the case. They believe that some workers on the highway were trying to blackmail Dhakad. According to the Police, these workers reportedly had the CCTV footage and tried to extort money from Manohar Lal Dhakad. They leaked the video when Dhakad refused to meet their demands.
This new revelation has become an important point of the investigation. The police are not trying to find out if the video is real or edited.
They’re also finding whether Dhakad was forced or targeted. The investigation is still ongoing, and the police are looking for more evidence to uncover the complete truth. As per the police, if blackmail allegations turn out to be true, those behind it could be in serious legal trouble.
What Lies Ahead in Manohar Lal Dhakad Case?
While the viral video has damaged Manohar Lal Dhakad’s public image, it is still unclear whether he was truly involved in the act. The case now depends on verifying the authenticity of the video, tracing ownership of the car, and confirming identities.
Legal proceedings will take time, and both sides are preparing their arguments. If found guilty, Dhakad could face short-term imprisonment or fines. However, the social and political fallout might have longer-lasting consequences, especially for someone with political ambitions.
