Controversy
[edit]In June 2025, while travelling on the New Delhi–Bhopal Vande Bharat Express, Parichha reportedly asked a fellow passenger, Raj Prakash, to exchange seats so that Parichha could occupy the window seat for his family; Prakash refused the request.[5][6] According to eyewitnesses, when the train reached Jhansi station, a group of around 15–20 men, alleged to be Parichha’s aides, boarded the coach and assaulted Prakash, leaving him bleeding from the nose, ears and mouth and with a fractured nose.[7]
Parichha subsequently filed a non-cognisable report (NCR) with the Government Railway Police at Jhansi, alleging that Prakash had used abusive language and behaved indecently; no FIR has been registered as of 22 June 2025, pending either a formal complaint by the victim or a court order, and authorities have announced that CCTV footage from both the train and station will be examined as part of the probe[8]
In response, the BJP issued a show-cause notice to Parichha on June 23, 2025, seeking an explanation for the incident after the CCTV footage surfaced.[9]
