Surveillance cameras recorded the entire incident, which happened on May 13 along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, an eight-lane, high-security thoroughfare. The politician, Manoharlal Dhakad, is shown in the video engaging in s*xually suggestive behaviour with a woman in the middle of the highway while everyone is watching.
The white car in question, which can be seen in the video, is registered in Dhakad’s name, according to Madhya Pradesh police.

Police filed a formal complaint against Dhakad and a co-accused under sections 296, 285, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) after the video went viral.
Since the event went viral, Dhakad had apparently been untraceable. A thorough investigation was in progress, and authorities had begun a search operation with him now arrested.

Following the revelation of Dhakad’s political ties, the dispute grew more intense. In Bani village, Mandsaur, his wife, Sohan Bai, is a member of the District Panchayat from Ward No. 8 and the elected Sarpanch. However, BJP has made an effort to disassociate itself from the controversy.

But, where is the woman??
If having sex on the highway is a crime, isn't she equally guilty?
When will this gynocentric society hold women accountable for their crimes? 👎🏻🤷🏻 pic.twitter.com/OTFdu7l02T

Ratlam Range DIG Manoj Singh called the incident “completely unacceptable” in response to the video.
“Mansoharlal Dhakad is a resident of Bani village but is not a primary member of the BJP. His wife holds a Panchayat post, but the party has no formal association with him,” said Rajesh Dixit, Mandsaur BJP District President.
Mandsaur SP Abhishek Anand said that a thorough investigation is underway. “Police are examining the viral video, including the role of the highway control room. Relevant officials from NHAI have been issued notices and are being questioned,” he said.
