Following a report from Income Tax sleuths seeking legal action, Deputy Commissioner and District Electoral Officer S. Sasikanth Senthil directed the Tahsildar to file a complaint with the Bantwal Town Police.

The police registered a non-cognisable case and submitted it to the Additional Civil Judge and JMFC court for directions.

Based on the order of the court, the Bantwal Town Police on Tuesday registered a case against Mr. Rai and the five under Section 171 (E) of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 123 of the Representation of Peoples Act 1951.

Very sad. What happening to our youths. Are they going crazy or the mountain fell on them?  Why do our people are becoming so coward? I think many are going under depression. Govt should set up rehabilitation/counselling centres in each Mandals/Taluks/Districts to treat such people.
