Amritsar: A case has been registered against Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi and Congress candidate Shubhdeep Singh (Sidhu Musewala) for violating the election code of conduct. The two Congress leaders were campaigning in Mansa even after the campaigning deadline at 6 pm on Friday. A case has been registered at City-1 Mansa police station under Section 188 of IPC (disobedience to order duly by public servant).

CM Channi had reached Mansa on Friday evening to campaign door-to-door for Musewala. According to the FIR, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Mansa, Dr Vijay Singla, submitted a complaint to election observer CK Yadav, stating that Congress leaders had violated the election code of conduct. Following spot verification by the flying squad team (FST), election officials found that Channi was not a Mansa voter and has violated the code of conduct of campaigning in another constituency. Musewala was campaigning with more than 400 supporters, which is more than the permissible limit.

At the same time, a case was registered against Bikram Singh Mofar, the Congress candidate from Sardulgarh in Mansa, for holding a roadshow without permission on Friday. An FIR has been registered against Mofar at Jhunir police station under sections 188 and 171-F (undue influence or recognition in the election) of the IPC.
