BJP legislator Ram Kadam seems to have jumped headlong into hot soup over an offer he made to help men kidnap the women they want to marry but who did not reciprocate their affections. A video of Kadam saying this at a Dahi Handi event he organised at Ghatkopar on Monday was aired on television channels.

Kadam can be heard saying, "You may meet me and seek my assistance. If you tell me that you have proposed to a girl and she says no to you, I will help you 100 per cent. I will tell you to bring your parents to me first, and if they, too, like the girl, I will kidnap her and hand her over to you. You can take my mobile number and call me."
