Tamil Actress Kasturi Trolls Upendra Singh Rawat Over MMS Leak; Asks For 'Link' Of The Video

Tamil Actress Kasturi Shankar, who is active on social media, has trolled BJP leader Upendra Singh Rawat over alleged MMS video leak.

She shared a few pictures from the purported video and wrote, "Everyone saw these pics of #UpendraSinghRawat , they say video is viral, where exactly to see that video? Please send link 😃."

The Tamil actress said that the video is not "fake". Kasturi added, "Clearly it is not fake because Rawat has backed out of barabanki LS seat. Really admire UP BJP , they plan really well how to ruin their rivals!"

An obscene video of Rawat with a woman had allegedly leaked, creating a lot of buzz on social media sites. It came after the BJP gave him the ticket to contest again.

However, Rawat on Monday said he will not contest any election till proven innocent. In a post on X in Hindi, Rawat said, "A fake video of mine generated by deepfake AI technology is being made viral, for which I have lodged an FIR." He said he has requested the party president to get it investigated.

The authorities have filed an FIR on the basis of a complaint by MP's personal secretary Dinesh Chandra Rawat against an unknown accused at Kotwali police station, in-charge Aditya Tripathi confirmed to the PTI.

The FIR alleged that certain individuals deliberately released a manipulated and offensive video of the MP to smear his reputation following his announcement as a BJP candidate. According to police sources, the circulated video portrays a man in a compromising position with a woman, purportedly identified as Upendra Singh Rawat.

It is noted that the BJP had denied a ticket to the then-sitting MP Priyanka Singh Rawat and made Upendra Singh Rawat its candidate.
