The police have dismissed his claim, stating that no official security was provided to Yadav and a case has been registered against him for trying to damage the reputation of Rajasthan Police.
The controversy erupted on Monday after Yadav uploaded a video on social media where he was seen travelling in a car driven by Krishnavardhan Singh Khachariyawas, son of former Rajasthan minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas.
In the video, a police vehicle was seen moving ahead of Krishnavardhan’s car with Yadav claiming that that police was escorting them. During their conversation, Krishnavardhan says that the police vehicles would change as they moved through different jurisdictions.
The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.
However, the Rajasthan Police has rejected these claims.
Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph said that no such escort was provided to the YouTuber. "An FIR has been registered against him in the matter." Additional Commissioner of Police Rameshwar Singh also said that Yadav was not assigned any escort and that police security is only provided based on established protocols.
