Akash said, “My brother had mistakenly left behind his underwear in his bathroom and when Kokje ji visited Indore, he called me up and returned the undergarment”. Stressing further on the humility shown by the former Governor, Akash said, “had it been anyone else, he would have simply asked his men to throw it or forget about it but he made it a point to get it washed and ironed before handing it back to me”.  

The video of this incident received a lot of flak over social media as the netizens had their field day. Congress spokesperson Abhay Dubey slammed the comments made by Akash and said that he hadn’t seen such indecency while praising someone.
