In an astonishing incident, Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi has been caught on camera rebuking and abusing an official facing corruption charges in Uttar Pradesh's Baheri.

Gandhi was attending a public meeting while on her tour to inspect the PDS (public distribution system) scheme when she was apprised of the malpractice by the official.

In a room full of people, the Union minister reprimanded the man over bribery charges against him and shamed him thereon in foul Hindi language.

Maneka Gandhi can be heard saying, "Tumahri izzat kya hai? (Where is your honour)... ek toh hara***de ki tareh tum mote ho (You are fat like a bast**d), aur logon se khaate ho (You take bribe)."
