A first information report has been registered against Haryana Minister of State for Cooperatives Manish Grover and former Rohtak MLA B.B. Batra, a Congress leader, for violation of model code of conduct during polling for the Lok Sabha election in Rohtak on May 12. The FIR has been registered on charges of disobeying the orders of a public servant and disorderly conduct near a polling station.
The case was registered a day after All-India Congress Committee general secretary and Haryana affairs in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad wrote to the Election Commission of India accusing the Minister of entering at least six booths of Rohtak parliamentary constituency along with armed goons to influence voters.
