This video is from an argument that I had with the husband of another female employee who was working in the same bank branch as me," Singh said in her clarification video.The video has not only been misinterpreted to show me arguing with a customer, but also used to stir a row over caste identity.WATCH: Singh went on to detail her account of the incident. She said that one of her colleagues had resigned and had wanted to be relieved on the same day."Her sister-in-law had been sitting in the branch since morning, and I had a minor argument with her.

According to Singh, he said, "Mai tumhari hekdi nikal dunga. Mai tumhari saari garmi nikal dunga."Singh said that she lashed out after he misbehaved with her."Yes, my words were wrong. I am aware that I am in public service, and I should measure my words carefully.
