The video is said to be from Lucknow West Assembly seat from where SP’s Arman Khan is contesting the election. In the video, SP workers could be seen walking around in a market for the door-to-door campaign. A man wearing a sleeveless brown jacket and white shirt walked by a burqa-clad woman and pasted a party sticker on her back.
The woman felt the touch on her back and turned to check what was happening. He saw the man and looked shocked. The man tried to touch her hand, to which she resisted, and he walked away. The woman then turned back and tried to check if something was on her back but could not reach the sticker. She also decided to change direction and started walking towards the direction from where she was coming. Towards the end of the 11-second video, she was seen asking people on the lane to check her back.
