In a viral video, Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ashwini Kumar Choubey is seen insulting and threatening a police official.
The video was shot in Bihar’s Buxar district which is also represented in the Lok Sabha by Choubey. The BJP party leader lashed out at a police official accused of registered a fake case against the party worker.
In the video, you can see BJP worker appearing before Choubey alongside the police official who registered the case against him. The minister is seen asking the policeman to explain why charges were laid against the person.
When the policeman accused the person involved in goondaism, Choubey hit back at him, asking whether he knows the meaning of Goonda.
The Union Minister further insulted the police officer stating that he has no capacity to crack down on the real anti-social elements but is adamant on registering cases against people involved in the democratic form of political protests.
Choubey silenced the police officer when he attempted to justify himself. He said, “shut up.” Further humiliating him, the Minister added, “Who asked you to call him a goonda? Why was he served a notice for goondaism?”
Choubey did not stop and threatened to get the police official sacked from his post. “Next time, this should not happen. For what you have done, you could lose your uniform,” he was heard as saying in the video.

When reporters confronted him, Choubey attempted to justify his actions alleging that the case filed against the BJP worker dated back to 2003 and was politically motivated.
“Some BJP workers and workers of other political parties who protested against corruption and crime in 2003 were called ‘Gunda’ by the present administration. I told the police personnel it is not right to call someone a ‘Gunda’,” he said.
