A controversial video allegedly showing a couple having sex reportedly on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has gone viral for the past several hours, triggering outrage. The man identified as Manoharlal Dhakad from Madhya Pradesh has been sacked from his post as national secretary of the Dhakad Mahasabha registered in Ujjain after the incident went viral, reports Hindustan Times.

“Dhakad is from the village Bani, but he is not a primary member of the BJP. His wife Sohan Bai is a member of the district panchayat. It is not known if Manoharlal has become a member of the party through online, ” Mandsaur BJP district president Rajesh Dixit told PTI.
