Overview

• BSP Ghaziabad district president Narendra Mohit filed an FIR at Shalimar Garden Police Station on August 20 night alleging the video insulted Mayawati and hurt party workers' sentiments.
• Ghaziabad Police have registered the case and begun an inquiry as BSP workers call for strict action.
• The controversy stems from an August 19 video in which Puneet addressed Mayawati as "Mummy" and made remarks described as inappropriate, diverging from the respectful honorific "Behenji."
• After the FIR was lodged, Puneet posted an Instagram video apologising and pledged not to repeat the behavior.
• Identified as Prakash Kumar of Bhopura, the influencer previously drew attention for a video addressing Akhilesh Yadav as "Papa" and is known from Bigg Boss OTT Season 2.
