During a press conference, some objectionable words were spoken by a Congress leader,” Sambhal ASP Shrish Chandra said. “A video of the Congress leader making “indecent and objectionable” remarks against PM Modi has also been provided. Action will be taken soon,” Chandra said.
Further investigation is underway, he added.
