Authorities ordered criminal charges filed against the great-grandson of India's first prime minister after footage emerged of him comparing a rival Muslim politician to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and threatening to cut the throats of Muslims during a political rally.
Varun Gandhi, 29, a descendant of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a founding father of India's secular democracy, denied making the comments. Gandhi said the footage had been tampered with.
