A video of BJP MLA Uday Bhan Singh allegedly threatening Kerawali Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Garima Singh went viral on social media on Monday.

In the video, Fatehpur Sikri MLA Singh is purportedly heard berating the SDM, saying, “Aap sarkar ke virudh kaam kar rahi hain…humein dikhaana chahti hain aap SDM hain? Aapko maloom nahi main vidhayak hun? Meri taakat ka ehsas nahi hai? Loktantra ka ehsas nahi hai? Ek naukar… (You are working against the government…you want to prove it to me that you are SDM? Do you not know that I am an MLA? Do you not realise my power… not realise democracy?… A servant…).”

The words are then drowned as some among the crowd shout “SDM zindabad”.
