Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur, who had earlier stirred a hornet's nest after describing rape as a social crime, courted controversy yet again on Thursday after he was caught on camera allegedly touching a woman inappropriately as she was climbing on to a bus during an event in Bhopal.

Gaur, who flagged off the 'low floor' buses in an event, was seen allegedly touching the woman as she climbed on to a bus. However, there seemed to be no immediate reaction to the incident as no one, including the woman, made any objections.


This is not the first time Gaur has courted controversy, as in 2013, the senior minister was seen enjoying a dance performance by skimpily clad women on a ferry in Goa.


Besides such incidents, Gaur has also made headlines through several sexist and controversial comments. In January 2013, Gaur raised a furore over his statement that the 'foreign culture' of women wearing jeans and T-shirts, drinking liquor and dancing with other men was not good for India.
