“We’ve ‘satta’ and ‘sangathan’ at our disposal. We won't let police intervene in child marriages," Chouhan, contesting from Sojat assembly seat, is seen as purportedly saying in the video.

“We will investigate into the allegations and initiate necessary action,” said NCPCR chairman Priyank Kanoongo.
