The video went viral, prompting a formal complaint from a fellow party member. In response, Govind Narayan Shukla, the India — Bharatiya Janata Party's state general secretary, issued a show-cause notice to Amar Kishore Kashyap, demanding a written explanation within seven days. Amar Kishore Kashyap has denied the allegations, claiming the video is being misused by political rivals and that he was merely assisting the woman who felt unwell.
