Controversies

During the 2019 Indian general election, an alleged video went viral on social media in which Bind is being heard delivering a provocative speech against the upper caste Brahmin community.[4] Bind was also being heard of selectively thrashing Brahmin community members wearing janeu and burning down a police station.[5] A case of hurting religious sentiment and promoting enmity between different groups was registered against him.[4] Bind, however, stated that the video was fake.[6]
