Nashik: Amid the controversy over a series of viral audio clips in Nandurbar district, an atrocity case has been registered against former BJP district general secretary Vijay Chaudhary over the contents of one of the alleged recordings.

The complaint was lodged at Nandurbar City Police Station by Rohan Sharad Gavit, a resident of Natavad. According to the FIR, Chaudhary allegedly made derogatory remarks about former MP Dr Heena Gavit and recorded and circulated an audio clip containing statements about former minister and MLA Dr Vijaykumar Gavit.

BJP Delegation Demands Action
Meanwhile, a BJP delegation has submitted a memorandum to the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police demanding legal action against Vijay Chaudhary in connection with the viral audio clip. The delegation has also sought his expulsion from the BJP.
