Controversy
In June 2025,while travelling on the New Delhi–Bhopal Vande Bharat Express,Parichha reportedly asked a fellow passenger,Raj Prakash,to exchange seats so that Parichha could occupy the window seat for his family;Prakash refused the request [5] [6] . According to eyewitnesses,when the train reached Jhansi station,a group of around 15–20 men,alleged to be Parichha’s aides,boarded the coach and assaulted Prakash,leaving him bleeding from the nose,ears and mouth and with a fractured nose [7] .
Parichha subsequently filed a non-cognisable report (NCR) with the Government Railway Police at Jhansi,alleging that Prakash had used abusive language and behaved indecently;no FIR has been registered as of 22 June 2025,pending either a formal complaint by the victim or a court order,and authorities have announced that CCTV footage from both the train and station will be examined as part of the probe [8]
In response,the BJP issued a show-cause notice to Parichha on June 23,2025,seeking an explanation for the incident after the CCTV footage surfaced. [9]
