The women have reportedly submitted the call recordings to the police wherein the accused Anuj Mishra had made vulgar phone calls to them.

The Congress party has been surrounded in a new controversy after its district President, Anuj Mishra, in Jalaun in Uttar Pradesh was accused of sexually harassing two women.

Besides allegations of harassment and abusive words, Mishra has now been accused of making vulgar calls to the victims. As per a report in Amar Ujala, he would allegedly pester the victims to meet him alone. The Congress District President had also threatened the victims when they said that she would approach the police.

The accused was earlier seen posing with Congress scion Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
