Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Sunil Kumar Pintu won the Sitamarhi assembly constituency in 2025 Bihar polls, results of which were declared on Friday. However, Pintu's win and journey during these polls was not devoid of controversies as alleged obscene videos of him surfaced on social media days ahead of the first phase of voting on November 6.

Pintu, who has also previously served as the member of Lok Sabha from Janata Dal (United), filed an FIR ahead of the first phase of voting with the cyber cell after some allegedly obscene videos of him, which he said were fake, went viral on social media.

In the FIR, he said that those videos were part of a conspiracy hatched by his opponents right ahead of the polls to tarnish his reputation and political image, according to a report by Live Hindustan. Pintu also said that this was not the first time something like this has happened and that in 2023 as well, similar videos had surfaced.
