Lodhi was then reportedly taken by some local Congress leaders to meet the party’s state president Jitu Patwari in Orchha town of Niwari district, where Patwari had assured all possible help to Lodhi and even called up the Ashok Nagar district collector Aditya Singh. The video of Patwari’s telephonic conversation with the district collector had gone viral.But just a day later, on June 26, the concerned man Gajraj Lodhi reportedly submitted an affidavit to the local administration and police, stating that no such incident (him being forced to eat human excreta) had happened. He further submitted in the affidavit that he had made the false allegations at the behest of the state Congress chief, who had promised to give a motorcycle in return.Subsequently, an FIR was registered at Ashok Nagar district’s Mungaoli station against Patwari on the basis of Lodhi’s affidavit on June 27.The Congress has been protesting over the issue and had set July 7 as the deadline for withdrawing the case lodged against Patwari.
